Somalia : Another Airstrike

Details here:

The new air strike came roughly two weeks after an AC-130 plane killed what Washington said were eight al Qaeda-affiliated fighters hiding among Islamist remnants pushed to Somali's southern tip by Ethiopian and Somali government forces.

One official said the targets were from the Somalia Islamic Courts Council (SICC), a militant group defeated by government troops with Ethiopian armor and air power in a two-week war started before Christmas.

A second source said the target was an al Qaeda operative. A Pentagon spokesman declined to comment.

4 Please tell me it was another AC130U!
I love these things.
The U.S. tax-payer gets his money's worth out of these magnificent machines.

6 They are not dead. They are hiding in American and Canadian Universities. Probably collecting the dole.
