US-AIRFORCE-AC130-SOMALIA
(FILES) This handout file given by US department of Defence and taken 29 June 1997 shows a US AC-130H Spectre gunship droping flares during a training mission. The AC-130 gunship, an armed variant of the C-130 Hercules transport plane, is designed for close air support. Officials in Mogadishu said 09 January 2007 that the United States launched air strikes on suspected Al-Qaeda hideouts in Somalia in its first overt military intervention in the lawless nation since the early 1990s. Officials and other informed sources said the US hit two Islamist-held villages -- Badel and Aayo -- in the raids carried out by an AC-130 gunship operated by the US Special Operations Command, according to US television.
