- US forces carried out a raid in northern Somalia this week and took out a top ISIS money man.
- Before the operation, troops ran practice runs on a recreation of the mountainous target area.
- It's a similar technique to the one used before the 2011 raid that brought down Osama bin Laden.
US forces extensively rehearsed a secret raid to take out a senior Islamic State financial operative this week, using a specially-built recreation of the rugged target area, US officials said.
