U.S. Targets al-Shabab Leader in Somalia Strike 
------------------------------------------------


 
The United States has carried out a new missile strike in Somalia. The
Pentagon says it was targeting a top leader of the militant group
al-Shabab, but it is unclear if he was killed. The Obama administration
recently deployed a new contingent of U.S. troops to Somalia to work as
"advisers" to the Somali military.
