On Sunday, the United States conducted yet another air strike in Southern Somalia. This time they were targeting a "senior leader" who was thought to be affiliated with Al-Shabaab, which is al Qaeda's branch in Somalia. It has yet to be determined if the senior official was killed in the air strike. Earlier in the week, the United States captured Abu Anas al Libi. He was an al Qaeda operative who was thought to have been a participant in the 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa. Al-Shabaab is an active terrorist group that is stationed in Somalia as a branch of al Qaeda.
