Mogadishu -A top commander of the Somali Islamist group al-Shabaab was captured Thursday as he was preparing attacks in the country's capital, a senior intelligence officer said.
The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said it was too early to name the commander, because investigations were still underway.
He was captured with three other suspected al-Shabaab militants as security forces stormed their hideout in northern Mogadishu.
