"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."

GW Bush dealing justice to terrorists that blew up 2 US Embassies on Bill Clintons watch.
Say it ain't so, Islamic terrorists attacked the US during the Clinton Presidency and Bill didn't do anything about it. NO WAY
Clinton solved every problem that was handed to him, Why didn't ABC, CBS, CNN tell me about this. It must have been a Republican plot.

might desire to or not that is because of the fact in the present day the U. S. State branch positioned human beings on alert for attainable assaults by al Qaeda? Oh wait, the bathroom Kerry, Secretary of State and the complete State branch are conservatives!! suitable?

And people say terrorism is just a scare tactic...I call SHENANIGANS!
Got to love those SPECTRE gunships...this makes me happy, not for the loss of life but because it shows that we have not been resting on our laurels and really have been continuing to hunt down these subhumans. This process is ongoing and the moment we appear to let up on the pressure, you can rest assured that the attacks will increase in frequency and very possibly come again to our shores.
Anyone who thinks this is a scare tactic is living in denial. Thanks for posting the link.
