Somalia strike misses top al Qaeda suspects - U.S.

By C. Bryson Hull

NAIROBI (Reuters) - 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.

A U.S. warplane attacked a village in southern Somalia on Monday in an attempt to destroy an al Qaeda cell accused of bombing two U.S. embassies and an Israeli-owned hotel in east Africa.

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.

U.S. ally Ethiopia, which led a swift military offensive before the New Year to oust Islamists who threatened to overrun the country's interim government, continued air attacks on Tuesday and Wednesday in pursuit of fleeing fighters.

1. Just another sign
That the U.S. military will follow orders without question, they will fly in and destroy a village, and kill people without any evidence of a crime being committed, this is part of the Bush plan.

Who knows, eventually the target could be us.

2. Well, it's working so well in Iraq, might as well export it.

4. They don't need our help.
They do a pretty good job themselves killing each other without our assistance (maybe we should send them a bill?).
