US Reportedly Bombs Somalia

MOGADISHU, Somalia - Airstrikes, possibly by U.S. planes, caused explosions in a remote area in southern Somalia, officials said May 26. There was no immediate information on casualties.

A U.S. military official said she had no information about U.S. planes' activity in Somalia.

Buale town chairman Ibrahim Noleye said planes were heard flying nearby Sunday night, followed by two loud explosions that shook the ground. Buale is 255 miles southwest of the capital, Mogadishu.

Noleye said he had contacted officials in nearby villages, who told him by two-way radio that the planes had hit an area between Buale and another town called Sakow.

He said he could not say who launched May 25 nighttime strike. But only U.S. aircraft have launched such strikes in Somalia in recent months. The Somali government does not have an air force. Ethiopian troops based in Somalia have not been reported to conduct airstrikes.
