Somalia, targeting the leader of Somalia's Al-Qaeda-
linked terrorist group, Al-Shebab.
According to reports, the US targeted a location
where senior Al-Shebab officials were reportedly
meeting, and it is believed that Abu-Zubayr, the
group's leader, was a part of that gathering.
Although there were casualties as a result of the air
strike, it is unclear whether the Al-Shebab leader is
one of them, Yahoo News reports.
"We are assessing the results of the operation and
will provide additional information as and when
appropriate," said Pentagon Press Secretary, John
Kirby.
Abu-Zubayr, also known as Ahmed Abdi
Godane, is considered one of the world's top eight
terror fugitives.
