US military confirms terror attack on US base in Kenya

[mfcorey1]

The U.S. military has confirmed that there has been a terror attack on a military base in Kenya that houses some U.S. military personnel. The Somali terror group al-Shabab has claimed responsibility for the attack that Kenyan authorities said had been repelled with four militants killed in the fighting.

“U.S. Africa Command acknowledges there was an attack at Manda Bay Airfield, Kenya and is monitoring the situation,” said U.S Army Maj. Gen. William Gayler in a statement. “Al-Shabab resorts to lies, coercion, and the exertion of force to bolster their reputation to create false headlines ...It is important to counter al-Shabab where they stand to prevent the spread of this cancer.”

The official did not provide information about any potential casualties at the Kenyan military base that has housed U.S. military personnel for years. It is unclear how many American personnel are stationed at the base that has reportedly been a site for U.S. special operations forces operating in Somalia.

1. Hmmm...

"lies, coercion, and the exertion of force"-sounds like the GOP.

2. I expect many more attacks on American bases and properties over the next few years

On a global scale. Just wonder if the Trump Hotels are booking lots of people?

3. It'd be a crying shame if reservations plummet at Trump properties

because even people who like Trump are scared of the possibility of attacks on his properties. A crying shame.

4. I'm sure Trump blames Iran.
