US special forces hunting for a high-profile target killed more than 10 Islamic extremists during a nighttime firefight near an Al-Shabab-controlled town in Somalia, The Daily Mail reported on Thursday.
A Somali intelligence official said that the person they wanted to capture was apparently killed during the fierce battle.
'It was a high-profile target, and chances of capture were challenged by a stiff resistance by militants guarding the house targeted by the special forces, which forced the commando to resort to the kill or capture method,' the official said.
He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the press on the matter.
