US Navy Seals fail in attempt to kill al-Shabaab leader in Somalia raid
[link to www.independent.co.uk]


US special forces have failed in an attempt to kill a senior leader of al-Shabaab, the Somali Islamist group, in response to the deadly attack on a Nairobi shopping mall two weeks ago.

A US Navy Seal team attacked the leader, named by a Somali intelligence official as Mukhtar Abu Zubeyr, at his seaside villa in the Somali town of Baraawe, south of the capital Mogadishu, in a pre-dawn, sea-launched attack yesterday.

US forces said last night that they were forced to withdraw before they could confirm the target was dead, after fighting broke out, and it has now emerged that Zubeyr survived.

he group boasted that it had successfully beaten back the assault, and released images of US equipment which had been left behind in the retreat.

They slaughtered seven of these cowardly terrorist sandal wearing asswipes, in an hour long gunfight and used helicopters for airsupport. But they had to retreat when civilian casualties became a concern..
I think that's fair enough.

Why not use a drone? Obama loves drone strikes and civilian casualities have never deterred him before. Either we were looking for something else or our intelligence fucked up, either way they are lying to us.

I received a breaking news alert on my phone that Navy SEALs had killed the al-Shabaab leader. Then about a half hour later, I received a breaking news alert from the same news agency that he was captured. Nothing after that.

A good excuse to go into Somalia now. Who in the Pentagon makes these names up?

Which other countries are the blacklist?

Syria
Iran
Somalia
North Korea

They're just setting the stage for false flag terror events to start rolling out in America. Think about it, Navy Seals failed assault on Somalian terrorists, now they come to America (where half of them are vetted anyway) and start carrying out attacks. Makes sense.
