Details of those raids in Africa this weekend are making their way to the public, NBC <\/a>reports that the SEAL raid in Somalia was foiled by a guy taking a smoke break and the arrival of children on the scene of the resulting firefight forced the SEALs to withdraw;<\/p>\n

Then a lone al Shabaab fighter walked out into plain view, smoked a cigarette, and went back inside, one source familiar with the details of the raid said. The fighter played it cool, and gave no indication that he had spotted the SEALs. But he came back out shooting, firing rounds from an AK-47 assault rifle.<\/p>\n

Soon the American commandos were under siege from the warlord\u2019s well-armed fighters. Gunfire swept toward their positions and grenades began to rain down, multiple military sources said.<\/p>\n

Several of the SEALs could see Ikrima through the windows of the compound, but couldn\u2019t get to him. The SEALs continued to take fire while trying to find a way to get closer to their target.<\/p>\n

And then the children came into the pictures on their scopes.<\/p>\n

The suspect was barricaded and heavily protected by armed men, and now children were intermingled among the fighters and in danger of dying. Then the whole town of Barawe began to erupt and more armed fighters were seen heading for Ikrima\u2019s compound. Soon there would be fewer than two dozen Americans against hundreds of Somalis.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The snatch in Libya of Al-Libi was just wrong says the man’s son. He’s just an innocent pizza chef, he’s no terrorist, according to the UK’s Telegraph<\/a>, but I’m not sure that Richard Spencer who wrote the article knows what he’s talking about;<\/p>\n

Al-Libi, whose real name is Nazih Abdulhamad al-Ruqaie, was seized in a dawn raid outside his home in Tripoli suburb on Saturday. US officials said the raid was led by special operations Delta Force marines<\/strong>, but the family and Libyan officials say what they call the \u201ckidnappers\u201d included men speaking a local Arabic dialect. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Are they sure it wasn’t Air Force SEALs instead? Or Navy Rangers, mayhaps?<\/p>\n

His wife told CNN that her husband was kidnapped by Libyans not Americans;<\/p>\n
