"The US air strike in Somalia missed its main target of three senior al-Qa'ida members, American officials admitted yesterday, as concern continued to grow over the rising numbers of casualties from the conflict. A day after widespread publicity over claims that a "surgical" attack had killed Fazul Abdullah Mohammed, allegedly involved with the bombing of the US embassy in Nairobi, it emerged that neither he, nor two other suspects, Abu Taiha al-Sudani and Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan, were among the dead." (Why not keep bombing and killing until you eventually kill them. What do you think? That is surgical too, no? And in fairness: US officials said that they bombed the targets because the men were dark skinned and the wanted men are also dark skinned.)
