US defence official quoted as saying Ibrahim Ali died in reported military strike in Somalia's Middle Juba region.
A US military strike has hit a car carrying senior members of the al-Shabab armed group in Somalia, killing at least two people including the group's chief explosives expert, according to local Somali and US government sources.
Preliminary evidence collected by the US military indicated that Monday's attack killed its intended target, Ibrahim Ali, an explosives specialist known for his skill in building and using homemade bombs and suicide vests, the New York Times reported quoting a US Defence Department official.
"He's been identified as someone we’ve been tracking for a long time," the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the mission was conducted by the military's Joint Special Operations Command, told the US newspaper.
