Bravo Zulu to the warriors that performed the missions. I hope they all returned home safely and unharmed.
And then had a very well-deserved tasty beverage.
Another one bites the dust!
1. I'm glad it happened, and was apparently executed well. Kudos.
2. I wish that specific elements of the Special Operations community were not identified after these events.

Bravo Zulu!
This is all we need to know.

More fidelity. Two raids, 1 SEAL team, 1 Delta. SEALs abort, Delta gets their HVT. No U.S. casualties. Regardless, something tells me there are many terrorists who are not sleeping very well these days.

A U.S. Navy SEAL team swam ashore near a town in southern Somalia before militants of the al-Qaida-linked terrorist group al-Shabab rose for dawn prayers, U.S. and Somali officials told The Associated Press. The raid on a house in the town of Barawe targeted a specific al-Qaida suspect related to the mall attack, but the operation did not get its target, one current and one former U.S. military official told AP...But this time, SEAL Team Six members encountered fiercer resistance than expected so after a 15-20 minute firefight, the unit leader decided to abort the mission and they swam away, the official said.Within hours of the Somalia attack, the U.S. Army's Delta Force carried out a raid in Libya's capital, Tripoli, to seize a Libyan al-Qaida leader wanted for the 1998 bombings of the U.S. Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania that killed more than 220 people, the military official said...The Pentagon identified the captured al-Qaida leader as Nazih Abdul-Hamed al-Ruqai, known by his alias Anas al-Libi, who has been on the FBI's most wanted terrorists list since it was introduced shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks
Hang up and drive.

I was kinda figuring that CAG was in on the Tripoli op.
Wonder if the Al-Shabaab op was DEVGRU or "regular" SEAL platoons? ETA---read the link above and see that they're saying it was DEVGRU.
