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.
Do we have confirmation?
I would love to see that.

MIDI - HOME ON THE RANGE
Oh, give me a drone so where terrorists roam
I can blow the hell out of their car
Like video games…we’ll engulf them in flames
They’ll be frightened wherever they are
Drones, drones move down range
The coordinates I’m gonna change
They won’t even hear…as the bomb’s coming near
Then we’ll all do high fives at the bar
Some think it is mean…we fly over unseen
And we send them a little surprise
It drops from the sky…all their plans go awry
And they won’t make it to the bazaar
Drones, drones move down range
The coordinates I’m gonna change
They won’t even hear…as the bomb’s coming near
Then we’ll all do high fives at the bar
Maybe on TV we are going to see
An exciting reality show
A name we might try…”Stupid Drivers Who Die”
In their autos they don’t get too far
Drones, drones move down range
The coordinates I’m gonna change
They won’t even hear…as the bomb’s coming near
Then we’ll all do high fives at the bar
They won’t even hear…as the bomb’s coming near
Then we’ll all do high fives at the bar
We may piss off the Minnesota cab drivers.
I just love a happy ending, don’t you!
