'MOGADISHU (Reuters) - The U.S. military launched an air strike in Somalia on Saturday, killing 52 Islamists who had attacked a Somali military base earlier in the day, it said. '
'On Tuesday, al Shabaab militants attacked a hotel compound in neighboring Kenya, killing at least 21 people. '
'Al Shabaab lost control of most Somali cities and towns after African Union and Somali troops pushed the hardline Islamists out of Mogadishu in 2011. '
'Al Shabaab said it killed “more than 57 Ethiopian invaders”. '
'The air strike targeted al Shabaab fighters who had rammed into the military base near Jilib, 370 km (230 miles) southwest of the capital Mogadishu using a suicide car bomb, military officials in the state of Jubbaland told Reuters. '
