US Attack on Al-Shabaab Leader

Foreign Policy published on 2 September 2014 an article titled "Pentagon Says It Hit Its Target, but Did It Kill Al-Shabab's Leader?" by Gordon Lubold and Kate Brannen.  This is a good summary about what is known as of this date on the U.S. effort to kill al-Shabaab leader Ahmed Abdi Godane.
