Deadly airstrike on al shabab by Shara Jeyarajah p.8

America launched a deadly airstrike on al-Shabab militants in order to avoid the threat posed to American and al-Shabab soldiers alike. This strike took place in the war torn country of Somalia. This was the deadliest airstrike on this particular group in a decade. No civilians have been recorded dead. This airstrike is the second violence against a terrorist organization in less than a month. This strike occurred because an al-Shabab plane used a suicide flyer to fly into a emarati airliner. The group also killed many Kenyan soldiers. Al-Shabab has pledged heir allegiance to Al Quada, another popular terrorist group.
This situation is all around horrifying. The violence that had taken place must greatly impact the country.
This relates to apush because Eisenhower promised many offensive tactics that established America as a power. America has proved to be a terrifying force.
