Huh. This didn’t make the headlines in the morning papers…
It was on the BBC World Service
Sounds like an aircraft carrier sent aircraft to sort out a bunch in the deep South of Somalia - they claimed getting various Al Qaeda types which is a bit spurious.
I think that this one is being conducted on a ‘low profile’ basis, they’ll not proclaim victory until it is absolutely certain.
Probably Gitmo will get a new influx of prisoners.
Well, apparently the U.S. airstrike didn’t kill any of the three al-Qaeda suspects it was aimed at (though it did kill 8-10 people, which is something).
Analysis/commentary from The Nation.
Update: Another U.S. airstrike.
Ethiopia, meanwhile, has begun to withdraw its troops.
