Somalia's Islamist militant group Al-Shabab has confirmed the capture of an Al-Qaeda suspect, Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan, by an American military helicopter raid on Monday.

US reports say that he is dead, but Al-Shabab did not confirm this.

Nabhan was wanted for involvement in the Al-Qaeda bombing of an Israeli-owned hotel in the Kenyan port city of Mombasa, and trying to shoot down an Israeli airliner in 2002.

Our reporter in Mogadishu, Mohamed Olad Hassan, has talked to a leader of Al-Shabab about the attack on Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan.

Peter Ndoro asked him for the details.
