[Regnum] In May, the US military attacked the leader of the terrorist group ISIS (a terrorist organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) in Somalia. NBC reported this with reference to the US Africa Command (AFRICOM). “The American military launched an airstrike against the leader of the local terrorist group ISIS in Somalia... The airstrike was carried out in an area located 81 kilometers southeast of Bosaso,” the material says.
As a result of the airstrike, the US Armed Forces killed three militants, but at the moment there is no confirmation of the death of Mumin. According to one of the representatives of the US Department of Defense, the United States estimates the number of IS group in Somalia from 100 to 200 militants. As Regnum reported, in May, Turkish Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said that law enforcement officers detained 41 suspects in the country suspected of involvement in the IS terrorist group. Law enforcement officers carried out an anti-terrorist operation in 12 provinces of Turkey - Bolu, Eskisehir, Istanbul, Kirikkale, Kilis, Kocaeli, Nevsehir, Sakarya, Gaziantep, Sanliurfa, Duzca and Manisa. Police seized firearms, digital media, foreign currency and Turkish lira from the detainees.

| #3 ISIS in Somalia, interesting. Is that where they send the folks who aren't performing up to 'standards'? Sort of like being in the Federal government and relocated to Fargo or Galveston. |
