Mogadishu, Somalia (CNN)The Islamist militant group Al-Shabaab has claimed responsibility for a car bomb in Mogadishu that killed a Somali general and four of his guards Sunday.
Gen. Mohamed Roble Jimale, commander of the Somali Army's 3rd division and a leading figure in the fight against Al-Shabaab, was killed as he was leaving a compound, according to Gen. Yusuf Mohamed.
Designated as a foreign terrorist organization by the US in 2008, Al-Shabaab has carried out attacks against diverse targets at home -- killing international aid workers, journalists, civilian leaders and peacekeepers -- as well as abroad. Some of its most brutal attacks have been in neighboring Kenya, which has taken a key role in the African Union's military action against the group. Last year, Al-Shabaab gunmen killed nearly 150 people at Kenya's Garissa University College. At least 67 people were killed at a Nairobi shopping mall in 2013.
