U.S. Navy SEAL Kyle Milliken Killed in Somalia Ambush
-----------------------------------------------------

In Somalia, U.S. Africa Command said Friday U.S. Navy SEAL Kyle Milliken
was killed and two others wounded as they were ambushed while advising
the Somali army on fighting al-Shabab militants. Milliken's death was
the first reported U.S. combat fatality in Somalia since the so-called
"Black Hawk Down" incident in Mogadishu in 1993, which left 18 U.S.
soldiers and hundreds of Somalis dead.
