U.S. in Somalia, A New Strategy

The United State's lack of involvement in Somalia, as a result of the events of Black Hawk Down, has been reaching out again. Last month American helicopters targeted Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan, who had been a known Al Qaeda suspect. Al Qaeda presence in Somalia has brought about new concerns, not only related to jihad becoming more widespread, but also to how this could look for the counterterroism efforts of the United States. The military strategy has shifted from previously used airstrikes which resulted in civilian casualties, and the U.S. is now working towards much more focused attacks.
