US operation in Somalia kills senior IS leader

[ad_1]
Washington: A US military operation in Somalia has killed a number of Islamic State (IS) members, including a key leader of the terror group, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced.
“On January 25, on orders from the President, the US military conducted an assault operation in northern Somalia that resulted in the death of a number of IS members, including Bilal-al-Sudani, an IS leader in Somalia and a key facilitator for IS’s global network,” Austin was quoted as saying in a statement on Thursday.
“Al-Sudani was responsible for fostering the growing presence of IS in Africa and for funding the group’s operations worldwide, including in Afghanistan.
“No civilians were harmed as a result of this operation. We are grateful to our extraordinary service members as well as our intelligence community and other inter-agency partners for their support to this successful counterterrorism operation,” the Defense Secretary added.
No US troops or civilians were killed in the operation, he said.
Wednesday’s operation comes after US forces killed two top IS leaders in an airstrike in Syria late last year, CNN reported.
Al-Sudani was sanctioned by the US Treasury in 2012 for helping foreign fighters travel to a training camp of the al-Shabaab terror group and facilitating financing.

Roadside bomb explosion kills 2 govt soldiers in Yemen’s Shabwa

[ad_1]
Aden: Two soldiers of Yemen’s government forces were killed and four others injured in an explosion in the country’s southeastern oil-rich province of Shabwa, a military official said.
A local military officer told Xinhua news agency on condition of anonymity on Saturday that an improvised explosive device on the roadside exploded when a motorcade of military vehicles that escorted trucks carrying diesel passed by in the Ar Rawdah district of Shabwa.
The IED, which was planted and remotely detonated by terrorists, also destroyed a military vehicle, the source said.
Security forces and a medical team were sent to the site and carried the wounded soldiers to a nearby hospital for treatment, he noted.
So far, no group has claimed the responsibility for the attack, Xinhua news agency reported.
The Yemen-based al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula network has exploited years of deadly conflict between the Yemeni government and the Houthi militia to expand its presence in the war-ravaged Arab country. It frequently uses hit-and-run tactics against Yemeni government forces while hiding out in rocky terrains and mountainous areas of Abyan and other neighbouring provinces, including Shabwa.
