U.S. forces found, targeted and killed in a Somali desert city the senior al Qaeda operative who masterminded the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Africa and had since spent a decade in hiding, The Washington Times has learned.
Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan, who is one of the FBI's most-wanted terrorists, was the target of a U.S. missile strike on a residence in Dobley, a small town in southern Somalia near the Kenyan border, according to a U.S. military official who spoke to The Times on the condition of anonymity because of the nature of the operation.

Holy Crap Dog, you’re gonna give this woman a coronary. You always know so much. Please don’t do this to me again, my kids are too young!!! XD
Tease.
:D
sad day for Obama and the hope/change crowd.
Ok, you got me all excited for a second.
When I first heard this yesterday, I was hoping it might be ol’ M.F. Aideed (or however you spell that two-bit, tinhorn “warlord”’s name).
Yes.. but still a good get.
Damn!
The dead perp looks like he could be related to Obama....
Uh — is it permissible to say things like that anymore?

Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan
... Looks kinda familiar.
Aidid is already dead.
I sure hoped they read him his writs (sic) and administered due process and served him with an arrest warrant and paid a gazillion taxpayer dollars to lawyers to defend this POS.
NICE WORK!!! Bump back to the top!
He’s been dead since the mid 90’s I think.
Good, I expect to see it on the Kouric Show, right after the Baking Tips segment..............
Actually this is change I can believe in. Any time we get a biggie in AQ, it is CHange FOR THE BETTER IN MY BOOK. Does anyone on here know if we sometimes use laser targeting for Tomahawks? The original story I saw said it was laser guided, which infers we had special ops nearby guiding the bird home to its target.
It seems they must have been very sure it was him or they probably would have used a predator and hellfire. A tomahawk is many multiples more destructive. At $500k a piece, it was a good investment I think.
What am I saying? I hope the entire house hit him. Piece by painful piece.

Always like to see what they look like at sometime in their past.....
