US launches first air strike against al-Qaeda in Libya
The US launched its first air strike against the al-Qaeda in Libya earlier this week, targeting its affiliate al-Qa'ida in the Lands of the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), the US Africa Command said. The strikes killed two terrorists, including Musa Abu Dawud, a high-ranking official who trained recruits for attacks in the region. No civilian casualties were reported in the strike.
