Washington, October 18 (RHC)-- In news from Africa, The New York Times is reporting the Barack Obama administration has intensified a clandestine war in Somalia, with hundreds of U.S. special operations forces carrying out ground raids targeting the Somalia-based militant group al-Shabab.
The U.S. is also carrying out drone strikes inside Somalia. Last month, a U.S. airstrike accidentally killed more than 20 Somali soldiers.
