Somali terror leader behind Kenya shopping mall massacre 'killed in US drone strike'

 

The Somali Islamist leader who ordered last year's Westgate shopping mall massacre in Kenya is believed to have been killed in a US drone strike.

Ahmed Abde Godane, the leader of the al-Shabaab militant group, is thought to have been targeted by a salvo of missiles as he left a meeting of the group's senior leaders on Monday night. The US military said it was still trying to verify whether the 37-year-old had died in the attack, but witnesses spoke of a sound like an "earthquake" as missiles hit a forested region in Somalia's Sablale forest district, 105 miles south of Mogadishu.

Godane, who is one of al-Shabab's most feared figures, gave his personal backing to last September's Westgate atrocity, in which 67 people were killed when al-Shabab gunmen armed with grenades and assault rifles attacked a shopping mall in Nairobi.

In a statement released shortly after the attacks, he threatened further terrorist mayhem in Kenya unless it agreed to pull its troops out of Somalia, where they have been trying to oust al-Shabaab from its southern heartlands.

The attack was one of the worst terrorist acts in Kenyan history, and marked al-Shabaab's arrival on the world stage as one a fully-fledged member of the international jihadist terror movement. Previously it had focused mainly on establishing a Taliban-style regime in Somalia, but under Godane, who pledged allegiance to al-Qaeda, it adopted a transnational agenda.

Godane, who also went by the name Abu Zubayr, was also listed by by the US State Department as one of the world's most wanted terror fugitives, with a $7-million price tag on his head.

On Tuesday, al-Shabaab officials declined to confirm whether Godane had indeed been killed. "Let the Americans say that they have killed Shebab's leader. So far the Americans just gave us rumours," a senior Shebab official told the AFP news agency.

Another al-Shabaab spokesman, Abu Mohammed, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Godane was in one of two vehicles hit in the attack, which he said killed six militants, but declined to say if Godane was among them.

Somali officials said the first they knew about Monday's drone attack was when government and African Union forces patrolling in the area heard a series of huge explosions in the Sablale forest area.

The strike came as local al-Shabaab forces were on the back foot from a government offensive aimed at seizing key ports under militant control.

"The Americans carried out a major air strike targeting a gathering by senior Al-Shabaab officials, including their leader Abu-Zubayr," said Abdukadir Mohamed Nur, governor for southern Somalia's Lower Shabelle region. "They were meeting to discuss about the current offensive in the region. There were casualties inflicted on the militants, but we don't have details so far."

If confirmed as dead, Godane becomes the latest in a long line of al-Shabaab commanders to be killed in US airstrikes. A US missile strike in January killed a high-ranking intelligence officer for the group, while last October one of its top explosives experts died in a hit on a vehicle carrying senior fighters. Godane himself is known to have taken extensive security precautions to avoid being targeted, following the death of one of his predecessors as leader of al-Shabaab, Adan Hashi Ayro, in a US missile strike in 2008.

Godane's death would be a severe blow for the group, which has lost much of its terrority in Somalia in the last two years as a result of successful offensives by Somalia's US and UN-backed government. From having once controlled much of the capital, Mogadishu, it is now confined mainly to isolated rural areas, although it still launches numerous hit-and-run attacks.

On Sunday, seven heavily-armed Islamic militants attacked a high-security prison in Mogadishu in an apparent attempt to free comrades held there. Somali officials claimed that all seven attackers were killed, along with three government soldiers and two civilians.

After the US airstrike on Monday night, locals in the Sablale area said that masked Islamic militants in the area arrested dozens of residents they suspected of spying for the US and searched nearby homes.

"Mass arrests just started, everyone is being detained," said Mohamed Ali, who lives in Sablale district. "They even searched nearby jungles and stopped the nomads transporting milk and grass to the towns for questioning."

As of Tuesday there was still no confirmation of Godane's death.

However, Mr Nur said he believed Godane and other senior al Shabaab members had been killed. "We understand a U.S. drone killed Ahmed Abdi Godane and other seven senior members last night near Hawaay area around Barawe town," Sidii told Reuters. He did not say how he got the information on the attack, given the location is in an area still under al-Shabaab control.

Is that why Al Shabab can't even get into a real battle with Puntland or the Somali Army?

 

They have to resort to hit-and-run attacks because they know they can't fight a real battle.

[Mahiigaan]

 

Godane and his crew are dead according to DNA analysis taken. American commanodos are reported to have taken the bodies of the Alshabab leaders after their cars have been hit by Drone misiles. This is reported by the Somali Web Alldhacdo I will look for further proof.

That is true as Godane was the only duriyad in a convoy of pirate terroists.

[Mooge]

I predicted before anyone kneww. Godane is dead and blown into pieces just like the many hundreds he killed the same way except Somaliland which he protected and used it as a base.

 

There is tacsi in Hargeisa niyoow.
