Absolutely not. We welcome it,’’  Faqi said. “We understand the US’s need to quickly act on its  intelligence on the ground,’’ he said. “We urge the US to continue its  strikes against Al Shabab because if it keeps those strikes up, it will  be easier for us to defeat Al Shabab.’’US  officials have increased their warnings that the threat from Somalia’s  Al Shabab militant group is growing and that militants are developing  stronger ties with the Yemen-based Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.AP<img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/33/MQ-9_Reaper_-_090609-F-0000M-777.JPG/800px-MQ-9_Reaper_-_090609-F-0000M-777.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />U.S. Air Force MQ-9</blockquote>
