A senior member of the al Shabaab militant group who helped plan the Westgate Mall attack in Kenya has been killed by a US drone strike.
Adan Garar and two other people are believed to have died in the strike near the town of Bardhere in Somalia, US and Kenyan officials said.
Garar was also suspected of planning failed attacks on Kenya's coastline and in the Ugandan capital of Kampala, according to a Kenyan official.
Kenyan authorities said police foiled a planned attack in the coastal city of Mombasa in March 2014.
Al Shabaab militants had planned to carry out simultaneous attacks on the city's airport, a ferry crossing and a supermarket.
The attack was foiled when anti-terror police intercepted a car packed with explosives.
Al Shabaab has vowed to carry out violent attacks in Kenya and Uganda in retaliation for the countries' contribution to the African Union force supporting Somalia's government.
Some 67 people, including six Britons, were killed in the Westgate Mall attack in September 2013.
The attack was the largest in Kenya since the 1998 bombings by al Qaeda of the US Embassy in Nairobi.
