Al Shabaab claims to have shot down a Predator Drone

Al Shabaab has claimed they shot down a US Predator Drone. But of course they have no proof. Can you believe a terrorist group that gropes women to check if they are wearing a bra? Reuters

MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Insurgents of the Somali al Shabaab group shot down a U.S. drone aircraft flying over the southern port of Kismayu on Monday and were searching for the wreckage, an insurgent spokesman said.[...]

"We fired at an American plane spying for information over Kismayu. Our forces targeted the plane and shot it and we saw the plane burning. We think it fell into the sea," said Sheikh Hassan Yacqub, spokesman for al Shabaab in Kismayu.

"We are still searching for it," he told Reuters.

Lieutenant Nathan Christensen, spokesman of the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet in Bahrain, said all its unmanned aerial vehicles had been safely recovered but could not give further details.
