Great news from Somalia, with reports that Ethiopian and Somali forces have routed the Islamic Courts Union forces, with some air support from US AC-130 gunships.
A fascinating video from an AC-130 in action in Afghanistan, http://jje3accounting.com/images/video/AC130_Gunship.wmv
from www.pajamasmedia.com--
“A U.S. Air Force gunship has conducted a strike against suspected members of al Qaeda in Somalia…. The AC-130 gunship is capable of firing thousands of rounds per second [sic], and sources say a lot of bodies were seen on the ground after the strike, but there is as yet, no confirmation of the identities.
The gunship flew from its base in Dijibouti down to the southern tip of Somalia, Martin reports, where the al Qaeda operatives had fled after being chased out of the capital of Mogadishu by Ethiopian troops backed by the United States. ” (CBS News)
“Fazul Abdullah Mohammed was the target, a top al Qaeda leader in Africa. Responsible for the embassy bombings in ‘98.” (Taylor Marsh)
