US strike wiped out Shebab camp:

Somali intelligence officials say the largest US military airstrike against al-Shebab extremists in Somalia in nearly a year largely destroyed a training camp where recruits were preparing to graduate and killed more fighters than the US announced.

Two officials tell The Associated Press that several missiles were fired on Friday by two unmanned US drones.

Some of the freshly trained al-Shebab recruits were “burnt beyond recognition” and the death toll exceeds 75, one official said. The US Africa Command on Tuesday said about 60 extremists had been killed. (AP)
