What is very strange in this writing, is that all Navy Seals that targeted
and killed Osama Bin Laden died, and the only person on earth to tell you
exactly what happened to Bin Laden today, is Barrack Obama. Not Michelle
LAVaughn Robinson, not Malia Anne, not Natasha Sasha, but Obama himself for
all those that went and arrested but killed him just died.
Another group of Navy Seals has attacked and killed the Al Shabaab leader in
Somalia in retaliation to the attack of Westgate.

Somalia
US special forces have carried out a raid on a senior leader of the
al-Shabab Islamist group in Somalia, US officials say.
The unnamed officials said a US Navy Seals team had targeted the man after
approaching a villa in the southern town of Barawe by sea.
There are conflicting reports about whether the raid was successful.
It was said to have been prompted by last month's deadly attack on the
Westgate shopping centre in Kenya.
'White soldiers'
The New York Times and NBC both reported that the al-Shabab leader had been
captured, but the Times then said he was believed to have been killed in a
pre-dawn firefight - and that the US troops were forced to withdraw before
that could be confirmed.

However, the Associated Press news agency quoted unnamed sources as saying
that the Seals failed to find the intended target.
"The Barawe raid was planned a week and a half ago," a US security official
told the New York Times.
"It was prompted by the Westgate attack," added the official, who was
speaking on the condition of anonymity.
Al-Shabab earlier told the BBC that "white soldiers" had arrived by boat in
Barawe and rebels had repulsed them, losing a fighter.
Local group commander Mohamed Abu Suleiman said the raid had failed and the
group remained in control of Barawe.
Separately, Reuters carried a statement by Sheikh Abdiasis Abu Musab,
al-Shabab's military operations spokesman, which said that British and
Turkish special forces were involved.
He said the commander of the British force was killed, and four SAS and a
Turkish soldier were wounded.
Both Britain and Turkey said their forces had not been involved in the
operation.
Barawe residents said say they were woken up by heavy fighting before dawn.
"Gunfire broke out for about 10-15 minutes," an eyewitness told AFP news
agency.
Al-Shabab has said it carried out the attack in the Westgate shopping centre
in Kenya's capital Nairobi which left at 67 people dead. Many more people
were injured after militants stormed the centre on 21 September.
Western navies tasked with fighting piracy patrol the seas off Somalia,
which has been beset by conflict for more than two decades.
In 2009, US Navy commandos attacked and killed an al-Qaeda leader,
Kenyan-born Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan, in a daylight raid on Barawe.
Washington has also used drones in Somalia to support the government and
African Union forces in their battle against al-Shabab.
France carried out an unsuccessful raid to free a French intelligence agent
in January. Two French commandos were killed and al-Shabab later reported
that it had killed the agent.
