Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).
The U.S. has confirmed the head of an Islamist group in Somalia has been killed s part of a U.S. drone strike.
Ahmed Abdi Godane, who had run the group Al-Shabab during terror attacks in Somalia along with attacks on Christian villages and churches in surrounding countries, died when a drone strike took out a facility used for terrorist training. Ten other terrorists died in the attack.
President Obama hailed the successful strike as an example of his administration’s plan to fight terrorism.
“Godane’s removal is a major symbolic and operational loss to the largest Al Qaeda affiliate in Africa and reflects years of painstaking work by our intelligence, military and law enforcement professionals,” the White House said in a statement.
Al-Shabab is most notorious for the assault on Kenya’s Westgate Mall that killed 68 people and wounded 200.
