US Strike Al-Qaida Suspects In Somalia

Via CNN-According to a Pentagon senior official, a U.S. gunship attacked suspected al Qaeda targets in southern Somalia (More).

Have the somali authorities got a prior notification about such a preemtive attack? what if this attack targeted innocent civilians too? I doubt if Somalia has a say in all this especially after being invaded by Ethiopia recently. In the same vein of thought, I bet Seymour Hersh would be more than happy to know that what he wrote back in January 2005 proved to be 100% true and all the controversy and attacks his article stirred at that time is mere hypocrisy to further deceive the public.
