US air strike in Somalia

Good old Uncle Sam has gone and got themselves involved in Somalia once more, this time to launch an air strike against an Al-Qaeda cell hiding in the country. It's believed that this cell was responsible for the bombing of US Embassies in 1998 so, while the Somali Government were fighting and beating Islamic rebels, the US decided to strike.

This beast of a gunship, the AC-130 (Great photo too isn't it!), is supposed to have carried out the attack which has left, according to the Somali Government, a few people dead. But that's the whole point really isn't it.

Whether that will stop some from crying foul and berating the US as they always do remains to be seen, although the Somali Government has already come out and supported the attack.
