In a helicopter-borne US commando action in Somalia, 14 September 2009.

All the news organs are reporting what the American networks picked up at 
the Pentagon, no official statement yet from Washington, but the Arabic 
Qaida-friendly websites have heard from Shabaab and yes, Nabhan's career is 
over. Also there is this sort of bombast coming out now:

[
(AP)  A senior commander of Somalia's insurgency has vowed to avenge the 
U.S. raid that killed one of Africa's most wanted al Qaeda suspects.

The al-Shabab commander told The Associated Press on Tuesday the insurgent 
group will try to retaliate against America for the raid that killed Saleh 
Ali Saleh Nabhan in southern Somalia on Monday. The commander spoke on 
condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly.
]

Reuters and AFP are carrying similar reports.

His Arab affiliates called him Salih al-Nabhani. He appeared in one or two 
Shabaab recruiting videos.

(CNN) -- Somalia said a senior al Qaeda operative tied to several attacks in 
East Africa was killed Monday in a U.S. strike in southern Somalia.
Intelligence sources have confirmed to the Somali government that Saleh ali 
Saleh Nabhan was killed, Information Minister Dahir Mohamud Gelle said 
Tuesday.

Somebody in Shabaab called the BBC to make dire imprecations :D But it does 
indicate that Nabhan was no ordinary fugitive criminal. He wasn't. The other 
Qaidaistas will be shocked at how neatly the Americans could take him out, 
right in the middle of "Shabaab-controlled" territory. Not good news for 
Arabs terrorists who want to flee Pakistan these days, or for Shabaab's 
recruiters in Europe and North America, either.

You are suggesting we could see drone attacks in Europe and North
America.

Somebody in Washington tells AP that the dead are Nabhan, one Somali, and 
"four foreigners of unknown origin".

So at least four civilians were murdered?
