A senior administration official announced that a CIA officer was killed in Somalia during combat. The officer was a former Navy SEAL and was wounded during an operation with Somalian forces, where he later died from the injuries. US Special Operations forces have worked closely with Somalian troops, and while they often try to let them take the lead, US forces are sometimes put in combat situations.
