He also said that there are secret US jails in Kenya where hundreds of young people, captured in Somalia, are being held.
The US has increased the number of its attacks by unmanned surveillance aircraft in Somalia. Many civilians have died as a result.
Somalia is the sixth country where the US military has engaged in unauthorized aerial bombing campaigns through the use of its remote-controlled aircraft.
The United States has also deployed its drones for aerial attacks in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Iraq, and Yemen.
Washington claims the airstrikes target militants, though most of such attacks have largely resulted in civilian casualties.
