💨 Abstract

A senior commander of Islamic State's Somalia wing, known as "Laahoor", was captured on Monday in Puntland, Somalia, following U.S. airstrikes on the group's leadership. The commander was head of the group's assassination squad and in charge of extorting local businesses. The capture comes after Puntland announced a major offensive against Islamic State and al Qaeda-linked al Shabaab in December.
