U.S. Targets Terrorist in Somalia Wanted for Attacks on Embassies, Israelis
[CNN] Barbara Starr - A U.S. missile strike in Somalia from a submarine off the coast on Monday targeted Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan, wanted for questioning in the 2002 suicide bombing of an Israeli-owned hotel and the unsuccessful attack on an Israeli charter jet in Mombasa, Kenya. Nabhan is an associate of al-Qaeda member Harun Fazul, who was indicted for the 1998 bombings of the U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe stressed that "the United States is going to go after al-Qaeda and al-Qaeda-affiliated operatives wherever we find them."
