NSTworld: The US military launched airstrikes against the Al-Shabaab militant group in Somalia on Sunday, US Africa Command said, killing four 'terrorists.'
The strikes came one day after Somalia's deadliest attack in two years, when a car bomb killed at least 79 people in a busy area of Mogadishu.
It said two strikes had killed two militants and destroyed two vehicles in Qunyo Barrow while a separate strike killed another two in Caliyoow Barrow. Saturday's attack in Mogadishu has not been claimed, but the city is regularly hit by car bombings and attacks waged by Al-Shabaab Islamist militants allied to Al-Qaeda.The group often strikes the most prominent hotels and restaurants, and has also staged attacks in neighboring Kenya.
