US and Somali joint raid frees detainees
According to Military Times, two helicopters brought US and Somali troops that raided an al-Shabbab detention center, killing a number of the al-Qeada-linked group and freeing detainees found in the rebel-held town in the southern part of Somalia.
There was no immediate comment from the U.S. Africa Command. Both the U.S. and Somalia recently stepped up military efforts against al-Shabab.
Al-Shabab says via its Andalus radio arm that its fighters foiled an attempted raid by U.S. and African forces.

Sounds like Al-Shabab Andalus radio is the African branch office of FNN.
I didn’t know they had a branch over there.
or CNN!
“Al-Shabab says via its Andalus radio arm that its fighters foiled an attempted raid by U.S. and African forces.”
Riiiiight.
“Foiled” is apparently code for “we got shot at, several of us were immediately wounded or killed,the rest of us filled our trou and beat feat.”
Score was Good Guys: Several; Bad Guys: Zero, I presume?
“Both the U.S. and Somalia recently stepped up military efforts against al-Shabab.”
Wow. Imagine that. A President that isn’t afraid to break some eggs to make omlets, so actions are taken that should have been done years ago, instead of that pathetic “##SaveOurDaughters” or whatever that useless drivel the previous administration responded with for all of the girls that were kidnapped.
