HEY, WHAT'S THAT SPOOKY LOOKING THING RAINING DEATH FROM THE SKY?

It's an AC-130 gunship:

The U.S. military launched a strike against several suspected members of al Qaeda in Somalia, a government official said last night.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said at least one AC-130 gunship had been used in the Sunday-night attack.

CNN, NBC and CBS first reported the action. Citing Pentagon officials, CBS said the targets included the senior al Qaeda leader in East Africa and an al Qaeda member wanted for his involvement in the 1998 bombings of the American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.

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, NBC News reported.
