    Kenya miltiary: some 100 Somali militants killed

    NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — The spokesman for Kenya's military says an estimated 100 Somali militants were killed after helicopter gunships targeted a gathering of more than 200 al-Shabab fighters in Somalia.

    Maj. Emmanuel Chirchir said Friday that the gunships targeted a meeting where close to 20 al-Shabab vehicles were gathered near Badhade.

    The claim could not be independently verified. Al-Shabab had no immediate comment on its Twitter feed, the same microblogging site that Chirchir used to make Friday's announcement.

    Kenyan forces moved into Somalia in October to fight al-Shabab after a rash of attacks on Kenyan soil.

    Elsewhere, gunmen opened fire in the Kenyan town of Garissa on Friday, killing two people, government official James Ole Sereni said.

      Nice, maybe Mr. Obama should go home and run for President and keep killing the terrorist/pirates over there. Then maybe we can all be happy and have a New partner in the African World.

      Too bad they missed the other 100 terrorist. If they got 100 then that is a good start. Take no prisoners, just send them to a Muslim Heaven with all the virgin women for there pleasure.
