US airstrike destroys terrorist compound in Somalia

American Military News, February 23, 2020:

This is a breaking news story. Please check back for updates as more information becomes available.

At least three members of the Al-Qaeda affiliated Al-Shabaab terror group have been injured and their compound has been destroyed in a U.S. airstrike in Somalia on Sunday.

The U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) confirmed that U.S. forces, working in conjunction with the Federal Government of Somalia, targeted an Al-Shabaab compound near the city of Dujuuma, Somalia, according to an AFRICOM statement provided to American Military News.

The AFRICOM statement assessed no civilian casualties as a result of the strike

“U.S. support to African-led counter-terrorism operations is crucial in East Africa,” said U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Gregory Hadfield, the AFRICOM deputy director of intelligence.  “China and Russia appear content to remain on the sidelines as our African partners, with U.S. support, fight extremism and pave the way to enhanced security and stability on the continent.”

AFRICOM has warned that Al-Shabaab has shown interest in expanding its terror attacks beyond East Africa and on to Americans and U.S. interests around the world.

“Our command assesses the al-Qaida-aligned group lacks the capability to strike the U.S. homeland due to the persistent pressure placed on the group led by our African partners,” the AFRICOM statement said.

Al-Shabaab has carried out attacks in recent months, including an attack in early January against a U.S. air strip in Kenya, which resulted in the killing of one U.S. service member and two U.S. Department of Defense contractors stationed there.

Combined Joint Task Force – Horn of Africa (CJTF-HOA) has partnered U.S. forces with East African governments working to combat Al-Shabaab. AFRICOM has carried out other airstrikes on the terror group in recent days.

“Due to our capabilities, influence, and credibility, U.S. Africa Command and our U.S. interagency partners are uniquely postured to support Somali efforts, including to help coordinate other international partner engagement,” AFRICOM continued.

Misinformation is driving this mania. You have leftwing panicmongers like MSNBC’s O’Donnell predicting ‘millions’ will die if churches are ‘packed’ on Easter. Inaccurate Virus Models Are Panicking Officials Into Ill-Advised Lockdowns How a handful of Democratic activists created alarming, but bogus data sets to scare local and state officials into making rash, economy-killing mandates. By Madeline Osburn, The Federalist, March 25, 2020 As U.S. state and local officials halt the economy and quarantine their communities over the Wuhan virus crisis, one would hope our leaders were making such major decisions based on well-sourced data and statistical analysis. That is not the case. A scan of statements made by media, state governors, local leaders, county judges, and more show many relying on the same source, an online mapping tool called  COVID Act Now.  The website says it is “built to enable political leaders to quickly make decisions in their Coronavirus response i...

Certain people made billions from 9/11, it looks like many more bosses were given a heads-up just before Covid-19 exploded! Why Did Hundreds Of CEOs Resign Just Before The World Started Going Absolutely Crazy? In the months prior to the most ferocious stock market crash in history and the eruption of the biggest public health crisis of our generation, we witnessed the biggest exodus of corporate CEOs that we have ever seen. And as you will see below, corporate insiders also sold off billions of dollars worth of shares in their own companies just before the stock market imploded. In life, timing can be everything, and sometimes people simply get lucky. But it does seem odd that so many among the corporate elite would be so exceedingly “lucky” all at the same time? One financial publication is using the phrase “the great CEO exodus” to describe the phenomenon that we have been witnessing. It all started last year when chief executives started resigning in numbers, unlike anything th...
