U.S. forces killed an estimated 52 members of the militant Islamic terrorist group al Shabab in airstrikes in Jilib, Somalia, on Saturday, U.S. Africa Command reported.
"U.S. Africa Command conducted the airstrike in response to an attack by a large group of al-Shabaab militants against Somali National Army Forces," U.S. Africa Command, the branch of the military that coordinates with allies on the continent, said in a statement. The strike was part of a broader effort to prevent the terrorist group from "taking advantage of safe havens from which they can build capacity and attack the people of Somalia."

That must have killed millions of flies.
Ethiopia, state television cited the defense ministry as saying more than 60 al-Shabab fighters had been killed and that four vehicles loaded with explosives had been destroyed.
A Somali intelligence officer said al-Shabab had been amassing fighters for more than a week to launch a major attack against Somali and Kenyan forces in order to disrupt a planned offensive against the extremists.
Nicely done.

Honest question. Why are we involved in Somalia?

Gone to Allah. “Hey it’s hot here with Allah!”
Hope they keep up the good work.
I’m undergoing prostate caner radiation. My doctors are being very careful to avoid collateral damage to my bladder, and intestines. That said, I’m sure some innocent cells are getting zapped too, but that’s a small price to pay to wipe out my personal Isis.
May they rest in pieces!!!
Yeah because Detroit is full up.
