Cleaning out a nest of pirates. Excellent. I hope every boat in the harbor now lies at the bottom.

Somalia needs to be a boat free zone for the next 40 years.

Sounds like a failed mission, if only one pirate got to meet Allah in Hades. The West should be assisting them in every way possible, with their pursuit of martyrdom, only on OUR terms, not theirs!

Could be a private rescue operation. People can buy executive insurance. If captured by the bad guys, the insurance company will send commandos in to rescue you. Don’t know a lot about them but a few of their operations have made international news. The rescue teams are composed of former military spec-ops people, Rangers and Marines.

Reuters is saying the target was a Chechen.

We understand that French troops injured Abu Diyad also known as Abu Ciyad, an al Shabaab leader from Chechnya. They killed his main guard who was also a foreigner. The main target was the Shabaab leader from Chechnya," an intelligence officer based in Mogadishu, who gave his name as Mohamed, told Reuters.

Sounds like an excellent free fire zone for some of our aging ship to shore missiles.

I would be very pleased to see more of these terrorists sent on their way to The World of Seventy-Two Virgins—or, as the news story puts it (quoting one of the terrorists), “martyred”...

I’m curious if they weren’t sent to snatch someone. If the goal was to kill them, a missile launch from an aircraft or ships would have been easier.
