U. S. targets al Qaeda in Somalia

I bet these are the suspects in the Embassy bombing that they were trying to make sure didn't escape into Kenya:

A U.S. aerial gunship has attacked suspected al Qaeda targets in southern Somalia, a senior Pentagon official said Monday.

The AC-130 flew its mission within the last 24 hours, the official told CNN. The operation was launched based on intelligence that al Qaeda operatives were in that location, but there was no immediate indication of how successful the strike had been.
But the most important question is: Did they get Pelosi's permission first? She really hates it when she's left out of the loop on troop movements.
