In New York:
New York City police and the FBI raided at least one home in the borough of Queens early on Monday as part of an investigation into suspected terrorism, focusing on one man who has been under surveillance, officials said.
Members of U.S. Congress briefed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation said there was no imminent danger.
“There was nothing imminent, and they are very good now at tracking potentially dangerous actions and this was preventive,” said Charles Schumer, a U.S. Senator from New York who was among those briefed by FBI officials.
And in Somalia:
A senior al Qaeda operative behind the 1998 attacks on the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania is believed to have been killed during a raid by covert forces in southern Somalia.
Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan and another person are thought to have been killed in the southern town of Barawe during a raid by what was originally reported to be French commandos; the raid is now said to have been carried out by US Special Forces.
Congratulations to the magnificent men and women of the United States armed forces and American law enforcement – and a tip of the hat to President Obama for having the courage to sign off on the Somalia operation. If we let our troops do their thing, we’ll remain safe…
