On Monday, the United States carried out drone and airstrikes on al Shabab targets in Somalia, killing more than 150 terrorists, according to the Pentagon. The strikes amount to one of the largest attacks in drone history.
Manned and unmanned drone aircraft struck an al Shabab training camp over the weekend after extensive intelligence gathering on the group’s activities and sites. According to US officials, the group was planning an imminent attack on targets in the region. “We know they were going to be departing the camp and that they posed an imminent threat to U.S. and to Amisom, African Union mission in Somalia forces, that are in Somalia,” stated Pentagon spokesman Captain Jeff Davis.
