FBI Most Wanted Terrorist Killed in Somali Raid

nabhan.jpgYesterday I speculated that the target of the U.S. cruise missile attack against a target in Somalia was either Fazul Abdullah Mohammed or Abu Taha al-Sudan. Wrong on both counts. It was actually Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan, who is on the FBI's Most Wanted Terror list:

Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan is wanted for questioning in connection with the 2002 attacks in Mombasa, Kenya, against a hotel and an airliner.
Wanted no more. He's dead. WaTimes:
U.S. forces found, targeted and killed in a Somali desert city the senior al Qaeda operative who masterminded the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Africa and had since spent a decade in hiding, The Washington Times has learned.
Good riddance!
