US drone 'kills 150 Somali militants'

A US drone strike has killed more than 150 al-Shabab militants in Somalia, the Pentagon says.

Spokesman Captain Jeff Davis said the strike hit a training camp where a "large-scale" attack was being planned.

"We know they were going to be departing the camp and they posed an imminent threat to US and [African Union] forces," Captain Davis said.

"Initial assessments are that more than 150 terrorist fighters were eliminated," he added.

Captain Davis said the strike, on Saturday, targeted a camp about 120 miles (195km) north of the capital, Mogadishu.

Al-Shabab, an affiliate of al-Qaeda, was pushed out of Mogadishu by African Union peacekeeping forces in 2011 but has continued to launch frequent attacks in its bid to overthrow the Western-backed government.

The UGUS terrorists have caused so much pain and misery in our country. I hope they all get a taste of the pain they savagely inflicted on other people.
