Somali troops and US force this week killed a senior commander of the Al Shabaab militant group with a $10 million American bounty on his head, the nation's Information minister said.
The Al Qaeda-linked Islamists have led a 16-year insurgency against the fragile central government and control swathes of rural Somalia.
Maalim Ayman, leader of the Al Shabaab unit Jaysh Ayman, was wanted by the United States over an attack on an air base in Kenya in January 2020 that left three Americans dead.
