Ahmed Abdi Godane (Somali: Axmed Cabdi Godane; Arabic: أحمد عبدي جودان; 10 July 1977 – 1 September 2014), also known as Mukhtar Abu Zubair, was the Emir (leader) of Al-Shabaab, an Islamist Terrorist group based in Somalia. Godane, who received training and fought in Afghanistan, was designated by the United States as a terrorist.[2] The exact date of Godane's rise to al-Shabaab's Emir is debated, although it seems he ascended to this position in December 2007.[3]
During his leadership of Al-Shabaab, the group pledged allegiance to Al-Qaeda.[4] He was killed in a U.S. drone strike on 1 September 2014 in southern Somalia.[5]
