An air strike in Somalia has killed a senior commander of militant Islamist group al-Shabab, state radio reports.

The US issued a reward of $5m (£3,8m) in 2008 for information on the whereabouts of Bashir Mohamed Qorgab.

The US carries out frequent air strikes in Somalia to target militants. It has not yet commented on the report. Qorgab's family confirmed his death.

He was in charge of attacks on military bases, and was also involved in operations in Kenya, the report said.
Qorgab was killed on 22 February in the southern Somali town of Sakow, following a joint operation by the Somali army and US military, Somali state radio[b] reported.

It did not explain why the news had emerged only now.[/b]

Last month there were unconfirmed reports in Somali media outlets that Qorgab had broken away from Al-Shabab following disagreements with other leaders.

Al-Shabab is linked to al-Qaeda and controls much of southern and central Somalia.

It has also carried out a wave of bombings in neighbouring Kenya, and is regarded as the most dangerous militant group in the region.

Last month, the group's fighters attacked a base in Kenya used by Kenyan and US forces, killing three Americans - a US military service member and two contractors.

Boko Haram Leader next
Shekau get ready to die for the 7th time

Job well done.

The Somali Civil War is an armed conflict in Somalia that started in 1991, following the overthrow of the dictator, Siad Barre.

Wish they never overthrew Siad Barre maybe Somali won't be facing conflict of 30 years now.

Shekau right now

Northern Nigerian Moslems will start protesting and breaking things now, just watch.

I swear Nigerians would appreciate Trump in the future, but of course the brainwashed muslims would try and convince you otherwise

GOD...in nigeria..when?

What is this world turning to

When Muslim radicals and fundamentalists look at the West, they see only the openness that makes us, in their eyes, decadent and promiscuous. They see only the openness that has produced Britney Spears and Janet Jackson. They do not see, and do not want to see, the openness - the freedom of thought and inquiry - that has made us powerful, the openness that has produced Bill Gates and Sally Ride. They deliberately define it all as decadence. Because if openness, women's empowerment, and freedom of thought and inquiry are the real sources of the West's economic strength, then the Arab-Muslim world would have to change. And the fundamentalists and extremists do not want to change.

This is some good news

US air strike is doing great recently, wonder when they are going to strike Nigeria.....

Killing their leaders doesn't mean anything... It doesn't mean that the US have you at heart... Or that they are protecting the world or fighting terrorism.


The leaders get killed and another leader will be appointed and if the next leader refuses to dance to the US tune, the scores will continue until someone is appointed to do biddings with them....

Well done Trump. Abubakar Shekau is still alive in NIGERIA.

Hmmm
