U.S. Commandos in Somalia Kill Al-Qaeda Terrorist Behind Attacks on Israelis in Africa
[ABC News] Luis Martinez - A U.S. commando attack in Somalia has killed al-Qaeda terrorist Saleh Ali Nabhan, 28, who took part in the 1998 attacks on U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. He also orchestrated the 2002 bombing of a resort hotel in Mombasa, Kenya, that claimed the lives of 15 people, including three Israelis, and a failed missile attack on an Israeli airliner leaving Mombasa airport. At least one U.S. helicopter fired on a convoy carrying suspected al-Qaeda targets in southern Somalia. Ali Nabhan ran training camps in Somalia for foreign fighters, some of whose graduates have been tied to attacks and threats around the globe.
