A former Kenyan footballer was among the al-Shabaab fighters killed in battle with Kenyan troops in Somalia last month, local media outlet Nation reports.
Anwar Yogan Mwok, who played for Mathare United, was killed as he rode in a truck laden with explosives at the Kulbiyow Kenya Defence Forces camp on January 27.
Two other militants who also took part in the raid are believed to have been injured in the fight.
Security authorities have warned that the two might have sneaked into Kenya for treatment.
Police had last year offered Sh2 million to anyone with information that would help in their arrest.
Mwok, 36, lived in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi,with his family until 2013 when he left to join al-Shabaab.
In Somalia, he joined Jaysh Ayman, a group of largely Kenyan Al-Shabaab fighters who plan and execute attacks against innocent Kenyans within the country.
He is believed to own a significant amount of property within Nairobi, proceeds from which police believe he has been using to finance his terror activities.
He also linked to the recruitment of young people into Al-Shabaab.
