Somalia: Islamist rebels vow to continue fighting after death of Al Qaida chief Fri. May 02, 2008 08:05 am.- By Bonny Apunyu. - (SomaliNet) After an Al Qaida leader was killed by an air strike in Somalia, Islamist rebels in Somalia on Friday vowed to continue fighting. Shabaab militant leader Aden Hashi Ayro, who was killed on Thursday, was one of six members of Al Qaida thought to be hiding in Somalia. "Even if Ayro has been martyred, his beliefs live on. The men who he trained and consulted are still around," Shabaab spokesman Mukhtar Ali Robow told local broadcaster Shabelle. "We are warning the enemies of God that we will stay on the same path like the departed...the path of true jihad," Robow said. The US military said it had carried out a strike in Somalia against a "known Al Qaida target" but would give no other details. -Agencies News Category: Somalia Latest Headlines Latest News Somalia: Pirates attack six more ships off of Somal...
