What can you tell me about the possible role US Special Ops played in the 1996 assassination of Somali Warlord Mohammad Farah Aidid?

The US Special Forces doesn't Kill Individuals, That's the side job of the CIA, the little used and much Loathed Side Job, that is comparable to wiping a dog's butt.
If we did kill him, Good riddance, but I doubt we can take the credit,
If we tried to kill Hitler, Stalin, or some other bloodied tyrant the US would catch so much flack from other countries that we'd be buried in it.
Besides, the government sucks at keeping secrets, if it tried, the world would know all about it.

There have been persistent rumors (including articles in the Los Angeles Times and USA Today), that US Special Operations forces, or CIA Special Activities Division officers, were directly or indirectly involved with Aidid's death.

I'm not aware of it but I would say if our guys were involved, good on them for ridding the world of THAT dirt-bag.
