U.S. Says 2 Al-Shabab Commanders Killed in Somalia
--------------------------------------------------

The military has confirmed two senior commanders of the militant group
al-Shabab have been killed in Somalia. The U.S. Africa Command said one
of the commanders was killed by a U.S. airstrike in late May, while the
other, Mohamud Dulyadeyn, died in a Somali ground operation. He was
accused of masterminding the attacks on a Kenyan university last year
that killed 148 people.
