Al Qaeda Leader, 10 Others Killed in U.S. Airstrike On Somalia

This is always good news , I get very exited when this happens to these pig breeders!

MOGADISHU, Somalia — The man believed to be the head of Al Qaeda in Somalia was killed in an airstrike early Thursday along with 10 other people, an Islamic insurgent group and a witness said.

The overnight strike killed Aden Hashi Ayro, his brother, another commander and six others in the central Somali town of Dusamareeb, said Sheik Muqtar Robow, the spokesman for the Islamic al-Shabab militia.

Six more people were wounded, two of whom later died, resident Abdullahi Nor said.

"Our brother martyr, Aden Hashi, has received what he was looking for — death for the sake of Allah — at the hands of the United States," Robow told The Associated Press by phone.

"This would not deter us from continuing our holy war against Allah's enemy; we will be on the right way, that is why we are targeted. I call for our holy fighters to remain strong in their position and keep up the jihad," he added.

It was not immediately clear who was behind the airstrike on the town, which is 310 miles north of Mogadishu. There was no immediate confirmation the U.S. had carried out the airstrike.

Over the past year, however, the U.S. military has attacked several suspected extremists in Somalia, most recently in March when the U.S. Navy fired at least one missile into a southern Somali town.
