U S military forces went after two high value target over the weekend, in two raids , nearly 3000 miles apart. One operation took place Saturday in Tripoli, the Libyan capital when U S forces captured Abu Anas al Libi, an al Qaeda leader wanted for his role in the deadly 1998 bombings of two U S embassy's in Africa.
In the second raid, a team of U S navy SEALs in southern Somalia targeted a top leader of Al-Shabaab who was behind last Months Kenya mall attack. The SEALs came under fire and had to withdraw before they could confirm whether they killed their target.
This is a real signal that the U S, no matter how long it takes, will go after these targets. U S Secretary of State John Kerry said the raids ought to make clear that the U S " will never stop in it's efforts to hold those accountable who conduct acts of terror".
