Navy SEAL Somalia Raid Snags Al Shabab LeaderAccording to a report in the New York Times, a U.S. Navy SEAL team has captured a senior leader of Al Shabab at his coastal villa in Baraawe, Somalia on Saturday. His capture comes less than a month after his group, which has been designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S. Department of State, carried out a deadly attack on the Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya. That assault killed more than 60 people.
The SEALs seized the terrorist leader after a early morning firefight, which lasted over an hour. According to a U.S. security official, the raid was planned about a week and a half ago, and was brought on by the mall attack.
