Islamic terror group al-Shabab's head surrenders in Somalia
The leader of the Islamic terrorist group al-Shabab, Hussein Mukhtar, surrendered to the Somali National Army on Thursday, according to reports. The African Union Mission in Somalia welcomed the decision and urged the terrorist group's militants to follow suit. Notably, al-Shabab pledged allegiance to al-Qaeda in 2012 and had over 7,000 militants at height of its power in 2014.
