US launches strike on remote area of Somalia
Islamic gunmen say an overnight US airstrike blasted a remote area of central Somalia hours after armed civilians met there, but no one was hurt.
Two Islamic insurgents say they heard airplanes overnight and about 10 explosions in the Odam rural area where armed civilians had been meeting Monday. There was no immediate confirmation of an attack from the US military. Last week, a US airstrike killed the suspected al-Qaeda leader in Somalia and 24 other people. (AP)
