US Carries Out Air Strike In Somalia, 1 Militant Killed
2018-10-10
[RADIOSHABELLE] The U.S. military said on Tuesday it had killed one murderous Moslem in an air strike in southern Somalia over the weekend during a battle pitting U.S. and Somali government troops against al-Shabaab
... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord...
Islamist fighters.

The U.S. military’s Africa Command (Africom) said the strike had been carried out on Oct. 6 in the vicinity of Kunyo Barrow, which is north of the town of Kismayo
...a port city in the southern Lower Juba province of Somalia, at the extreme southern end of the country (assuming Somalia can be called a country). It is the commercial capital of the autonomous Jubaland region...
.

"We currently assess no civilians were maimed or killed in this air strike," Africom’s statement read.
