WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. military launched a strike against a suspected al Qaeda target in northern Somalia on Friday, CNN reported.

A U.S. Navy destroyer targeted the suspect from off the coast of the African nation, the cable news network said, citing unidentified sources.

There was no information about the results of the attack, it said.

The target was a suspect in the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, CNN said.

The destroyer's guns appeared to be targeting a single person, perhaps moving in a convoy, according to the report.

The United States launched air strikes in Somalia in January targeting three top al Qaeda suspects but killing their allies instead, U.S. officials have said.

Those suspects also were wanted for the embassy bombings, which killed 240 people.
