The United States launched an airstrike in Southern Somalia to target a "known" terrorist suspect affiliated with East African al Qaeda operations early Monday. Three missiles reportedly fired from military planes hit a town near Dhoobley held by Islamic extremists. Dhoobley's District Commissioner Ali Nur Ali Dherre told CNN, the strike destroyed two houses -- killing three women and three children, and wounding another 20 people. The operation was confirmed by the Pentagon officials but yet to determine if the mission was successful or not.
