]]> One of the planners of the 2013 attack on Nairobi’s Westgate Mall has been killed in a US drone strike in Somalia.

Two others died with Adan Garar who was a leader of the Al Shabab terror group.

The US drone struck the car carrying Al Shabab militants near the Somali town of Bardhere.

Adan Garar was a top jihadi strategist. In addition to the mall attack in neighbouring Kenya, he planned several attacks on tourist facilities along the Kenyan coast and in the Uganda capital, Kampala.

An attack on Mombasa was averted when an explosive-packed car was intercepted.

Another car, rigged to blow up at Mombasa international airport, was detonated on a ferry.
