Go SEALS go! Abu Anas al-Libi, someone we have wanted for a long 15 years.


From The Wall Street Journal:

In separate raids, U.S. Navy SEALs carried out a predawn strike in Somalia aimed at capturing a senior leader of the al-Shabaab militant group, while a group of U.S. commandos in Libya captured a man suspected of taking part in the 1998 American Embassy bombings in east Africa.

The raid in Somalia Friday failed to capture the senior militant and it isn't clear if he was killed, although several al-Shabaab members were killed, according to an official. But the U.S. military, in an operation with the CIA and FBI, succeeded Saturday in capturing Nazih Abdul-Hamed al-Ruqai, a militant known as Abu Anas al-Libi who was on the FBI most wanted list with a $5 million reward.

U.S. operations in Somalia have been limited since the downing of a U.S. Black Hawk helicopter in October 1993.
