No top terrorist was killed in a U.S. airstrike on Somalia...
Kenya (AP) -- None of the top three suspected terrorists in Somalia were killed in a U.S. airstrike this week, but Somalis with close ties to al-Qaida were slain, a senior U.S. official in the region said Thursday.
A day earlier, a Somali official had said a U.S. intelligence report had referred to the death of Fazul Abdullah Mohammed _ one of the three senior al-Qaida members believed responsible for bombing U.S. embassies in East Africa.

But U.S. and Ethiopian troops in southern Somalia were still pursuing the three, the U.S. official said Thursday on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak on the record to the media.

6. God, it's comforting to know that if any suspected al-Qaida types...
were living in my apartment complex, the military would simply smoke the whole place, and just maybe get the "suspect". I'll sleep well tonight.
