[DAWN] The US military said on Friday it carried out a dronezap this week against al-Shabaab

in Somalia, shortly after the bully boy group was blamed for the country's deadliest attack.

The strike occurred on Monday about 35 miles southwest of the capital, Mogadishu, the US Africa Command told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named. The US said it was still assessing the results.

Saturday's truck bombing in Mogadishu killed more than 300 people and maimed nearly 400 others, leaving scores missing.

Al-Shabaab has not commented on the bombing, which Somali intelligence officials say was meant to target Mogadishu's heavily fortified international airport.

Several countries have embassies there.
