my colleagues here at berkley and elsewhere are dependent on the nih. sequester and now the shut down has had a doctormatic effect where losing faculty members who had opportunities to move back to their home country aboard and that is stripping us of an incredible investment of bu bio-medical science. it it's important for work on neurological diseases, diabetes and other disorders. the u.s. is in africa. the libyan government is condemning al-libs outside his home on saturday. he was accused of the killings

at the embassy in kenya and tanzania. navy sales tried the to khaurp the leaders in al-shabab but officials say that mission was unsuccessful. two raids and two african countries over the weekend. early saturday morning before dawn, field team 6 is the same group that got osama bin laden scored a seaside villa. but the special forces teams are about heavy fear and had to quickly pull out. the american commandos did kill several people but unclear who. we have confirmed today the target of this that raid is this man. he's a kenyan from somalia but he's known simply and he is a mysterious figure. this there are no public photos of him anywhere else. he's involved with three terror net works, a al qaeda, al-shaba.

now he's a key leader in al-shabab. that's the group behind the nairobi mall attack last month. he also land several other big terror plots including targeted and also reportedly an airport in kenya earlier this year. u.s. raid is likely remains to be a serious threat. with us now from washington is retired lieutenant criminal and has worked with military intelligence for more than 20 years. now a senior fellow for defense studies. welcome, it's good to see you. >> good to see you, john. >> give me a sense of what do you think of these? what do they mean going forward for u.s. >> i think president obama really announced the intense to go back to this operations and talked about reducing the use of drones. so, this is the only other option if you don't use drones.

i think it's a better option. what we saw heres with one case in precision strike which we saw a rendition. we kidnapped an individual in libya, brought him out of the country and despite the fact that the libyan government is protest we had a lot of inside information to help us get him. next is al-shabab and somalia. that's a little bit different. i heard that the raid wasn't entirely a failure. didn't get the guy we wanted but we have to remember that region, somalia and kenya is something we've been working on. i actually ran an op trai operag base. they have been supporting these things ten years ago. this is one battle but it does indicate that we are moving forward and go back to precision strike. this is much better to keep people alive and talk to them for most part. you are also minimizing the potential for collateral damage.

>> the u.s. government may. involved in a new front in the war on terrorism and it's calf. ho africa. how do you respond to that? >> it's act hi based in africa. the problem is we took half the ball and it's in iraq. we recognize that al qaeda is problemry fleeing to africa to regain its fleet. they have later than we expected. we got distracted. i think what we're seeing here is al qaeda and it's reinvented itself. as much as i think the old hand such as al-liby and these other guys are allegedly targets, it's warped it' different it's now franchised and much more difficult to go after. i think what we're seeing is the realization that since al qaeda changed tactics, we have to change our tactics the way we collect intelligence on it and how we deal with it operational. >> now al qaeda is franchiseed is that what you were suggesting? >> absolutely. al-shabab is a franchise of al

qaeda and the leader we talked about earlier is a multiple member of multiple franchising is a way of looking at it. so based on these two strikes that dust that mean we will see more strikes in africa? >> absolutely. i have been told by sources i had. there's more things being planned. this is going to be a preferred method going forward it' difficult to get a drone strike approved right now. i think the president is backing off that program quite a bit. i think we will see more of this. i think this is the best way to go. we had to get inside, john. we had to understand how it functions to defeat it. drone strikes don't do that for us. recently, we've heard more from the government. why? >> well, recently, president obama had people out talking about it on a number of outlets. i think they're taking credit for it and two reasons. i believe the president wants to take credit for it. he gave the word. secondly, i think it's a warning

to those who want to do harm to us and our allies. we're going to be more engaged. i think that's the right answer. question can we sustain this and i would like to say we will and it's more sustaining these types of operations. >> you think the shi shift awaym drones and to more strikes like the navy seal, is that right? >> yes, i do. i think that's what we're going to have to do if we don't use drones. i think we are overusing as a capability. were getting much better intelligence and much better results if we do this. >> i think this is a better way. >> is that because bad pr on drone? >> john, to be honest, with you, i'm one of the ones that are always oh opposed to a drone program. i think it's limited in its ability to do things. it was getting beyond the supply monday. i think we stepped away for the wrong reasons. i don't think we have to torture

people but we have to interrogate them. we traded that information. i think that's a lot what was based for al qaeda and there's the peninsula and now also al-shabab. >> retired u.s. army lieutenant colonel tony schaffer. good to talk to you. the government seems to be cooperating with u.n. weapons inspectors. now there's speculation that it may end up strengthening president bashar al assad's grip on syria. >> reporter: president bashar al assad's cooperation in destroying the chemical weapons seems to be giving him breathing space. >> i think it's also a credit to the al assad regime to comply as they're supposed to. now, we hope that will continue.
