The Pentagon confirmed Wednesday that a U.S. drone strike in Somalia had killed the intelligence chief for the country's militant al-Shabaab insurgent group. U.S. forces operating a drone fired several missiles at a vehicle carrying Abdishakur Tahlil on Monday, the Defense Department said. [...]

The attack was the latest blow to al-Shabaab in recent months. Last week, Somali forces captured another al-Shabaab leader, Zakariya Ismail Ahmed Hersi. In September, another U.S. drone strike killed al-Shabaab leader Ahmed Abdi Godane.
