On March 18, 2015 the Pentagon issued the following press release regarding an air strike in Somalia on March 12, 2015 that was rumored to have killed a top level intelligence chief of the notorious terrorist group known as “Al-Shabaab” (which stands for the “The Youth” in Arabic).
It read as follows:
“On March 12 at approximately 7:30 a.m. Eastern Time, working from actionable intelligence, U.S. forces using unmanned aircraft struck a vehicle carrying Adan Garar, a member of al-Shabaab’s intelligence and security wing, in the vicinity of Diinsoor, Somalia. The attack was a success and resulted in the death of Garar.
Garar was a key operative responsible for coordinating al-Shabaab’s external operations, which target U.S. persons and other Western interests in order to further al-Qaida’s goals and objectives. He posed a major threat to the region and the international community and was connected to the West Gate Mall attack in Nairobi, Kenya. His death has dealt another significant blow to the al Shabaab terrorist organization in Somalia.”
