murderous Moslems in Central Somalia, a statement released on Thursday confirmed, with the American team conceding that it pulled the dronezap upon the request by the federal government of Somalia, whose soldiers have been pursuing al-Shabaab.
According to the statement, the strike occurred in a remote area approximately near Bacadweyne, Somalia which is approximately 460 km northwest of Mogadishu. The US said five al-Shabaab fighters were instantly killed following the latest dronezap in the country.
"Given the remote location of the operation, the command assesses that no civilians were maimed or killed," the statement noted.
Military actions, the US said, are just one part of the Federal Government of Somalia’s efforts to comprehensively address their security challenges. The airstrike comes when Somalia announced the killing of over 70 murderous Moslems in the village on Wednesday and an additional 200 in HirShabelle on Thursday.

report published this week noted that al-Shabaab revenues have increased from $100 million annually to $150 million even with robust measures by the government to block the channels of collection. Somalia has already blocked 250 bank accounts and 70 mobile money transfer firms linked to al-Shabaab activities.
Al-Shabaab has been on the receiving end for the last seven months following joint military efforts led by the Somalia National Army on all fronts, which have left hundreds of the murderous Moslems dead. Additionally, President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has incorporated religious scholars in his bid to counter the Death Eaters ideologically.
