The U.S. military launched a strike against several suspected members of al-Qaida in Somalia, a government official said Monday night.


The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the operation's sensitivity, said at least one AC-130 gunship was used in the attack.
CNN, NBC and CBS first reported the military action. Citing Pentagon officials, CBS said the targets included the senior al-Qaida leader in East Africa and an al-Qaida operative wanted for his involvement in the 1998 bombings of the American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.


The same operatives are also believed responsible for a 2002 attack on Israeli tourists in Kenya and an attempt to shoot down an Israeli aircraft the same day, NBC News reported.


The 1998 bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania killed more than 250 people. The 2002 attack on an Israeli-owned hotel in Kenya killed 15.

First of all, you know damn well we're not bombing folks simply 'because they're christian'.
These folks were murdering and trying to take over a country that wouldn't wilfully submit to the will of God. So they were trying to help them along, at the ponit of a gun. It's a savage and radical movement which needs to be stood up to , beaten down and made utterly irrelevent.
