An al-Shabaab terrorist leader who had a role in an attack on an airbase that killed an American solider and a contractor, was killed in an airstrike, the U.S. military confirmed.
“Post-strike assessments confirm the two terrorists killed in the Feb. 22 precision airstrikes were an individual associated with the attack on Manda Bay and his wife, who was also a known al-Shabaab member,” U.S. Africa Command said in a statement on Tuesday.
