WASHINGTON - The destroyer USS Chafee fired her deck guns at two or three suspected "high-value terrorist targets" in the Puntland area along the northern coast of Somalia on Saturday, U.S. officials told NBC News. The three suspects are accused of taking part in the 1998 bombings of the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.

According to the officials, the U.S. had "actionable intelligence” gathered by U.S. Special Operations Forces and local tribal leaders that the suspects were in the area.

Out of fear that the suspects would leave the area, the decision was made to order the strike from the Chafee, which fired 20 five-inch rounds from her deck guns.

The Chafee was the U.S. military's closest asset, the officials said. Airstrikes would have come too late.

There has been no battle damage assessment to determine if any of the suspects were killed or wounded in the attack, the officials told NBC News.

One of the suspects, Fazul Abdullah Mohammed, had also been targeted in December in airstrikes by U.S. AC-130 gunships in Somalia.

He is the leader of the East Africa cell of al-Qaida and is believed to be the mastermind of the al-Qaida attacks in 1998 on U.S. Embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, that killed more than 200 people.

He was also the author of the 2002 attacks on an Israeli-owned hotel in Mombasa, Kenya, and the attempted shoot-down of an Israeli charter plane that same day.

He is also known as Harun Fazul. He is on the FBI's most wanted list. There is a $5 million reward.

The strike is against the hutu terrorist and the Arab/Comoros terrorist.

Fazul Mohammed
Sudani
Ceyroow

are all being bombed like Bin laden in Tora Bora. But this time in Bargaal.

They shouldn't have landed.

[AbdiWahab252]

UB,

Terror must be stopped.

I hear there is more terror in Garowe.

All opponents of Caade Muse are terror and must be destroyed.

[*jr]

Yep, these foreign terrorists received what they came for...Martyr

[Unclebin-]

Cadde is in discussions with reer garoowe. In a peaceful manner.

The Puntland Army went in and fought these idiots and they went into hiding in the mountain regions and now they are being areially bombed by the US.

[AbdiWahab252]

UB,

The majority of these terror are native Puntlanders.

There is the rumblings of a internal war between ProYusuf Puntlanders and those against him.

Caade may soon be back in Etobicoke drinking Tim Hortons' English Toffee Cappacino.

They ain't no natives, they're some Habargedir troublemakers calling them self Sheik Abdullahi Bin Ismaciil BULLSHIT.
Since when was Indocadde a Shiek? Wasn't he the one selling water to the natives of Shabelle hoose? Only Habargedir can pull off shit like that and make people believe they are religious!

[AbdiWahab252]

zackAbdul,

The majority are Puntlanders who oppose Caade & Yusuf.

Who would go to a hostile territory if not welcomed by the natives ?

Bargaale is home to the new antiCaade & Yusuf movements. All those fellows who were ProUIC and from Puntland are regrouping.

The battle for Puntland has started.

[DawladSade]

unclebin read dude, this isn't aerial bombing, this is sea bombing by way of ship

this isn't about precision, this about doing maximum damage, the probably obliterated the whole coast

[Gedo_Boy]

20 five-inch rounds? That's a small bomb!

[AbdiWahab252]

GB,

More to come courtesy of the Great AntiTerror Leader Caade muse

That's total bullshit. What proof do you have these terrorists are Puntlanders? Of course it is a known fact they are foreign terrorists and not a single one of them is from the local area or from any tribe known to Puntland for that matter.

So let me ask the question again: What proof do you have these terrorists are puntlanders?

[AbdiWahab252]

Jr,

What proof do u have they are not Puntlanders ?

Why would anyone sail to unfriendly territory ? These guys were welcomed into Puntland by their allies.

So terror is in Puntland and must be dealt with.

Caade Muse is doing a good first step.

Once again I asked for proof and not your opinion.

[michael_ital]

All lies. There IS no "East Africa cell of al-Qaida"
