索马里激进组织青年党扬言要对美军突袭实施报复。此前美军在突袭中杀死了基地组织嫌疑人和非洲通缉的要犯之一。
青年党几位高级成员星期二对记者说,他们的战士将对这次突袭实施报复。在突袭中,该组织成员萨利赫.纳卜汉,纳卜汉被打死。
目击者说,直升机星期一在南部城镇巴拉韦附近向一辆汽车开火,打死至少两名乘车人,打伤另外两人。
美国军方证实参与了这次突袭并杀死了纳卜汉,据信纳卜汉的尸体现在由美国看管。
纳卜汉出生于肯尼亚,他因涉嫌与2002年肯尼亚蒙巴萨酒店和以色列客机遭袭击事件有关而被通缉。
当时酒店爆炸事件导致至少13人丧生,客机遭到导弹袭击,但导弹没有击中目标。
The Somali insurgent group al-Shabab is vowing to avenge a U.S. military raid that killed one of Africa’s most wanted al-Qaida suspects.
Speaking to reporters Tuesday, senior members of al-Shabab said their fighters will retaliate for the commando raid that killed Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan.
Witnesses say helicopters fired on a car near the southern Somali town of Barawe Monday, killing at least two passengers and wounding two others.
The U.S. military has confirmed involvement in the raid and say the attack killed Nabhan, whose body is now believed to be in U.S. custody.
Nabhan was a Kenyan wanted for questioning about attacks against a hotel and an Israeli airliner in Mombasa, Kenya, in 2002.
The hotel bombing killed at least 13 people, while missiles fired at the plane missed their target.
