                     Somali Militant Killed in Drone Attack

   A commander of the Somali rebel group al-Shabab says a U.S. drone
   strike has killed one of the group`s senior leaders.
   Ahmed Abdulkadir Abdullahi, known as "Iskudhuuq," was killed when his
   car was hit by a missile in Somalia`s Lower Shabelle region.
   Rebel sources told VOA`s Somali service that the victim was a senior
   aide to al-Shabab`s top leader and was recently appointed head of
   al-Shabab`s health department. His driver also was killed in the
   attack.
   Last October, a U.S. military drone strike hit a vehicle carrying
   senior members of the al-Qaida-linked group, killing its top explosives
   expert.
