A Pentagon official says U.S. airstrikes killed two senior terrorist leaders, including an Islamic State commander.
A December 2 airstrike in Somalia killed a leader of the al-Shabab extremist group, according to Pentagon spokesman Navy Capt. Jeff Davis. Davis identified the targeted al-Shabab senior leader as Abdirahman Sandhere and said he is also known as Ukash.
Davis also said the U.S. has confirmed that a Nov. 13 airstrike killed a senior Islamic State leader in Libya known as Abu Nabil. U.S. officials had said shortly after the attack that Nabil likely had died. By coincidence, that airstrike happened just as the Paris terrorist attacks were underway.
Al-Shabab, an Islamic extremist group, is responsible for numerous attacks in east Africa, particularly Kenya.

I need to let you know that what you write about Islam has nothing to do with Islam. I would like to point out that there are roughly one and half a billion Moslems in the world to-day. Don’t tell me that this figure does not include some of the world elite thinkers. Freedom of speech does not mean publishing lies or distorted half truths. It is your duty as a publisher to check the veracity of what you publish, otherwise you are not only purporting cheap, nefarious writings but sadly also creating generations of ignorant and even extremist young people, let alone young Americans.
I second that! Spewing false statements and inciting hate is exactly what Hitler did.
OH LIKE OBAMA
Muslims not Moslems
We need to muzzl’um!………….. feed ‘um some bacon!
Sorry sir, many Americans do not believe your post. Until “good muslims stand up and denounce ISIS and those who follow their
barbaric ways nothing will ever change. Your beliefs are not those of our way of life. We are founded on Judeo/Christian society.
I’m glad to hear the military has dispatched several more terrorists to join Mohammad and their eternity fornicating with 72 virgins. I’m going to guess these terrorists have now discovered that their idea of the afterlife doesn’t match reality. Either way, they are no longer doing their evil deeds on earth.
