Abdulkadir Mohamed Abdulkadir is linked with two deceased Al-Qaeda operatives who are believed to have been involved in the 1998 bombings of US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. The two deceased Al-Qaeda operatives, Fazul Abdullah Muhammed and Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan, are also believed to have had a role in the 2002 attacks against Israeli targets in Mombasa, Kenya.
The strike in Somali follows last month’s siege of an upscale shopping mall in the Kenyan capital Nairobi, in which 67 people were killed.
