Somalia: U.S. Drone Strike Targets Al-Shabab Leader 
----------------------------------------------------


 
A U.S. drone strike in Somalia targeted a top leader of the militant
group al-Shabab on Saturday. The Pentagon did not confirm the attack
until Tuesday, and has not said whether it killed the target, Yusef
Dheeq. Unnamed officials have said Dheeq and at least one other leader
were killed.
