'Serious threat'
In its annual report on terrorism published on Wednesday, the US said al-Shabab militants in Somalia, along with al-Qaeda militants in east Africa, posed "the most serious threat to American and allied interests in the region".
Al-Shabab has been at the forefront of a guerrilla insurgency against the government and its Ethiopian allies since early 2007.
