(Mogadishu) The Somalia based Al Shabaab terror group continues to be
weakened following three days of airstrikes by US forces that have left 50 dead
so far. In a statement, the US Africa Command says they conducted two more
airstrikes in the vicinity of Haradere, Somalia on Wednesday.
It has been reported that six terrorists were killed in the
first airstrike while the second destroyed a weapons cache. The strikes on
Wednesday follow up on airstrikes conducted on Monday and Tuesday this week which
have left 44 terrorists dead in
different parts of the troubled country.
