U.S. Confirms Killing Terrorist Leader
One question... are we at war with Somalia?
The leader of the Somali Islamist group al-Shabab, Ahmed Abdi Godane, was killed following a US attack earlier this week, the Pentagon has said.
The US carried out air strikes on Monday night destroying a vehicle and an encampment south of the capital.
Somalia's president issued a statement on Friday urging militants to embrace peace after the death of their leader.

Good. Now when the next guy takes his place, kill him too. Do it quick enough, and often enough, and pretty soon they'll be fighting each other NOT to be in charge.

Who took him out, then?
