C-130 Gunship Fires On Al Qaeda

A U.S. air strike in Somalia missed its main target of three top al Qaeda suspects but killed up to 10 of their allies, a senior American official said on Thursday.
...
The strike killed eight to 10 "terrorist targets" but the United States is still pursuing the three most wanted suspects, the official told reporters on condition of anonymity.
...
A U.S. official in Washington who spoke on condition of anonymity said an Ethiopian air strike may have hit one of the top three.

"It's possible -- possible -- that Sudani was killed in an attack by military forces from another country. That's the current thinking," the official in Washington said.
...
An intelligence official, also in Washington, said "it is believed" that hardline Islamist leader Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys and his Afghanistan-trained protege Aden Hashi Farah Ayro were among the al Qaeda affiliates targeted by the U.S. strike.

America condemned over attack in Somalia, the whole world condemns it and so it should, the US is the catalyst for all the death and destruction in the modern world; if there ever was an axis of evil the United States of America is it.
They have destroyed the Middle East and in the process they have murdered thousands of innocent men women and children and now they are taking their aggression to Africa where more lives will be thrown into chaos as they are in Iraq.

George Bush your evil regime is not wanted in the civilized world, the time has come for democratic nations to stand together and ostracise your evil administration, you have destroyed a once admired and respected country, you have usurped your countries democracy with your patriot act and your so called war on terror, you are so blinded by your megalomania that you can't see the forest for the trees … You are the terrorism in the world and the sooner you are out of office the sooner decent America can once again take its place in a world that wants only peace.

Your post consists only of unsubstantiated opinion. Why, for instance, should American not attack an Al Qaeda training camp? They attack us, after all. How about supporting one of these opinions?

Nero fiddled while Rome burned, you should visit Australia and ask the Aussies for their opinion of the Bush regime, eight weeks ago I was in the UK and opinions were the same. This US administration uses fear to cow the American people but finally those same people are getting the message, the only problem is George Bush is listening to no one only his own confused ego … America talks up terrorism and the bombing and killing of innocent civilians in Somalia has only created a whole bunch of new enemies for the US.

Wake up with the rest of your countrymen who tried to send a message to Bush at your last election, you can't win peace at the point of a gun, stop threatening others and engage in dialogue with your enemies; that is the only way forward!

Yeah because talking work for those fighting the Nazi's in WWII. Guess what happened when people tried to talk with Hitler? They were killed in mass #'s. We don't want that to happen again. Ask those countries that have been dealing with terrorism longer then the US has. I'm sure talking has worked with Israel and their enemies. Israel has been attacked 3 times since it was established over 50 years ago. Talking sure works with people who want to kill you. Why don't you suggest that the terrorists talk with the US instead of continuing to trying to kill Americans.

Interesting that don't kill them equates to join them.

Or even, stop them but don't take pleasure in killing them equates to join them.

Neutronium for brains....

How do we stop them without killing them? Do we understand them and bow down to their way of life?

Why don't we simply try staying out of their way of life first?

try staying out of their way of life

Why don't we ask England? They dealt with Terrorism from the Irish for well over a hundred years.

And they didn't give up their freedoms to solve it, they didn't go to war to solve it. They talked it out and came up with a solution.
