The mastermind of the terrorist attack that killed 67 people at the Westgate Mall in Naibrobi, Kenya, in 2013 has died after a U.S. military drone strike in Somalia, the Defense Department said Wednesday. Adan Garar was one of several people in a vehicle struck by as many as three Hellfire missiles last Thursday, U.S. military officials told NBC News. Garar was a member of the security wing of al-Shabab, an al-Qaeda-aligned group seeking to topple the Western-backed government of Somalia and impose its strict version of Islamic law.
