AFRICOM targets Shabaab twice in southern Somalia
By Bill Roggio | August 11th, 2017
US Africa Command (AFRICOM) launched two “kinetic strikes” against Shabaab, al Qaeda’s branch in Somalia and East Africa, earlier today. The US military has now targeted Shabaab in three separate operations over the past two weeks.
Today’s two strikes took place “near the Banadir region in southern Somalia,” according to AFRICOM. Banadir is the administrative district which encompasses the capital of Mogadishu.
