Al-Shabaab terrorist organization supreme leader, Ahmed Godane has been killed in a U.S. airstrike. It was learnt that combined team of U.S. Intelligence, Military and Law Enforcement agents carefully tracked Ahmed Godane for years.
President Obama ordered the surprise airstrike and U.S. Hellfire Drones target-bombed a building where Ahmed Godane and al-Shabaab's top leadership were meeting to plot future attacks in Somalia and in North/Central/East Africa.
Al-Shabaab is Africa's most feared terrorist network. They admitted to attacking U.S. embassies in East Africa and has vowed to target America worldwide. This terrorist organisation has been destabilizing African Union efforts to stabilize Somalia. On 21 Sept 2013, al-Shabaab attacked Kenya's Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi. The attack lasted 2 days, killed 67 with over 175 people wounded.
Pentagon sources confirmed that top 6 leaders and commanders of al-Shabaab were all killed. The U.S. took away Ahmed Godane's body DNA-confirm his ID. Godane's body will be dumped at sea just as the body of Osama bin Ladin was dumped at sea to ensure his grave would not become a shrine for Jihadists.
