“Somali Islamist militants have threatened attacks in east Africa and the United States, warning President Barack Obama he would hear ‘shocking news’ as punishment for a U.S. missile strike that killed the rebel group’s leader last week.
Al Shabaab made the threats late on Monday, hours after launching twin attacks inside Somalia against African peacekeepers and a government convoy. The death toll from those bombings rose to at least 18 on Tuesday, police said.”
