Possible Identification Of One Target In Somalia Airstrike
Updated: 1/9/2007 11:29:03 AM

A published report says one of the targets of a U.S. military strike in Somalia is a suspect in the bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa.

The Washington Post has identified the man.

The Pentagon says it can't confirm or deny reports of the strike.

But a government official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the operation's sensitivity, says at least one AC130 gunship was used in the attack against several suspected members of al-Qaida in Somalia.

The 1998 bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania killed more than 250 people.

Other media report 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.

The 2002 attack on an Israeli-owned hotel in Kenya killed 15.
