Al Shabaab deny claims official present during US raid

Somalian militant group al Shabaab has said that no "senior official" was in the house in Barawe raided by US forces on Saturday, according to Reuters.

"The US claim that a senior Al Shabaab official was in the house is false. No senior official was in the house," Sheikh Abdiasis Abu Musab, al Shabaab's military operation spokesman said.

"Normal fighters lived in the house and they bravely counter-attacked and chased the attackers. The apostate Somali government is nothing in Somalia, no one asked them for permission to carry out the attack."
