A helicopter raid in southern Somalia has killed a man wanted for questioning over the bombing of an Israeli-owned hotel in Kenya in 2002, unnamed US sources say.
Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan, an al-Shabab commander, was killed along with at least one other fighter from the group when their car came under attack on Monday.
The US official, who did not want to be named, said the body of Nabhan, 28, was in US hands.
Nabhan, born in Kenya, was high on the FBI's list of most wanted "terror" suspects.
US special forces are believed to have attacked the car carrying Nabhan, also described as an al-Qaeda operative, in Barawe district.
An American official told the broadcaster ABC that a US Navy ship had been in the area to monitor the situation and to provide assistance.
