Somali forces kill 3 al-Shabab commanders in aerial operation

Mogadishu, June 8 (UNI) Three senior al-Shabab commanders behind a series of deadly attacks across Somalia have been killed in a joint security operation conducted by allied forces, the government confirmed on Saturday evening.
The Ministry of Information, Culture and Tourism said those killed included Nuur Abdi Rooble, who was among the most brutal terrorists involved in attacks against civilians across Somalia. He succumbed to wounds sustained during an aerial operation conducted by the Somali army and its international security partners on the outskirts of El-Bur town in central Somalia on Friday.
Rooble joined al-Shabab in 2009, and his death dealt a significant blow to the terror networks threatening the lives of Somalis, the ministry said.
