U.S. Forces Carry Out Dual Raids On Terrorists

Luke 21:7 “Teacher,” they asked, “when will all this happen? What sign will show us that these things are about to take place?” Luke 21:11 "There will be great earthquakes, and there will be famines and epidemics in many lands, and there will be terrifying things (that which strikes terror), and great miraculous signs in the heavens."

U.S. intelligence groups and Special Forces carried out raids Saturday that landed one of the world’s most wanted terrorists.

American troops with FBI and CIA assistance arrested Abu Anas al-Liby on a street in Tripoli, Libya.  Al-Liby had been indicted in 2000 for his part in the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.  There was a $5 million bounty on al-Liby; intelligence groups had been searching for the al-Qaeda leader for 15 years.

Libya’s government denied knowledge of the operation and citizens were very upset that a foreign military conducted an operation on their soil.

In Somalia, a Navy SEAL team exchanged gunfire at the home of a major leader of the al-Shabab terrorist group.  The raid was in response to the al-Qaeda related terrorist group’s raid on a Nairobi shopping mall that killed more than 60 people.

Unfortunately, the SEAL team had to withdraw from the fight before confirming the senior leader of al-Shabab was killed in the assault.
