MOGADISHU, May 1 (Reuters) - The death toll from U.S. air strikes that killed an Islamist rebel said to be al Qaeda's leader in Somalia rose to 30 on Thursday, a local elder said.

"So far we understand that 30 dead bodies were found in the ruins and at least 15 others were wounded," a local leader in the small central town of Dusamareb told Reuters by telephone.

The elder, who asked not to be named, said the roofs of 25 homes in the area were blown off in the blasts.
