The leader of the military wing of an Islamist insurgent organisation in Somalia has been killed in an overnight air strike.

Aden Hashi Ayro, al-Shabab's military commander, died when his home in the central town of Dusamareb was bombed.

Ten other people, including a senior militant, are also reported dead.

A US military spokesman told the BBC that it had attacked what he called a known al-Qaeda target in Somalia, but refused to give further details.

al-Shabab translates to "the youth" and was placed on Dept. of State's terrorist list in Feb. 2008.

**Awaiting radical left denunciation of airstrike on "noble freedom fighters."**

**Also awaiting radical right accusation that this is a plan to take away American's guns.**


Aren't radicals fun?
