US terror drones kill 11 more in Somalia
 [Iran Press TV] At least 11 people have been killed after US liquidation drones launched aerial attacks in southern Somalia near the border with Kenya, Press TV reports.Somali tribal elders, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told Press TV that the remote-controlled aerial vehicles fired several missiles at Bilis Qooqaani town, which is located 448 kilometers (278 miles) southwest of the Somali capital Mogadishu, on Thursday morning. They added that over 50 people were also injured in the strikes. Somalia is the sixth country where the United States has used liquidation drones to launch deadly missile strikes. The US military has also used drones in Afghanistan, Pakistain, Libya, Iraq, and Yemen. On October 28, the United States admitted to flying the terror aircraft from a base in Ethiopia. "The US has unarmed and unmanned aircraft at a facility there (Ethiopia) to be used only for surveillance as part of a broad, sustained integrated campaign to counter terrorism," said Pentagon front man Captain John Kirby. The confirmation appeared a day after The Washington Post revealed in a report that the US flies "armed" drones from an airfield in Ethiopia's southern city of Arba Minch.
