Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted June 10, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted June 10, 2018 A U.S. special operations soldier was killed in southwestern Somalia on Friday and four others were wounded when their team came under attack from insurgents. According to the U.S. Africa Command, U.S. service members were with Somali forces in an operation aimed at clearing al-Shabab, a terrorist organization, from villages and establishing a permanent combat outpost. "The U.S. provided advice, assistance and aerial surveillance during the mission," according to a statement from the command. The statement says, "One of the wounded U.S. service members received sufficient medical care in the field. Three U.S. service members and the one partner force wounded were medically evacuated to receive additional treatment." Hundreds of American troops currently serve in Somalia. https://www.npr.org/2018/06/08/618394317/american-soldier-killed-in-somalia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
