NAIROBI - Cameras picked up the two white trucks carrying bombs and fighters through the bush towards Somalia’s most secure military base, home to U.S. special forces, foreign trainers and the Somali special forces they mentor.

Then the second truck was hit by a U.S. air strike. The explosion was captured on video footage provided to Reuters by two security experts. The attacks are unlikely to influence the commitment to training Somalia forces or a review of the U.S. military presence in Africa as it focuses attention on China and Russia, a U.S. defense official said.

Three Somalia-based security experts described Monday’s attack as more of a bid to grab headlines than a concerted attack on Baledogle.
