US Armed Forces attack jihadists in Somalia

The U.S. military says a car bomb had exploded at an Iraqi police recruiting center at Kisak, killing at least XNUMX people.
 
The operation, which took place around 15:00 local time in an area about 160 kilometers west of Mogadishu, was carried out in coordination with the Somali federal government, said the US military administration in charge of Africa (AFRICOM).
 
The U.S. military "will continue to use all available and appropriate means" to combat terrorism, specifically to "hit terrorists, their training camps and their shelters in Somalia, the region and around the world." ", AFRICOM said in a statement.
 
Last week, the United States announced that it had carried out two airstrikes against the Islamic State (IS) jihadist group in Somalia, the first such operation since the US-led invasion.
President Donald Trump authorized the Pentagon in March to launch counterterrorism operations - air and / or ground - to support the Somali government.
 
Al-Shebab has been working since 2007 to overthrow the Somali government, which is backed by the international community.
