(January 24, 2007)--Defense officials say the United States launched an air strike in Somalia against suspected terrorist targets earlier this week.

It's the second such attack this month.

The officials provided few details about the strike by an Air Force AC-130 gunship.

The sources are uncertain whether the intended target was killed.

One official suggested that early indications showed no high-value target was killed or captured.

At the Defense Department, a spokesman declined to confirm any new strike but said in general the United States is "going to go after al-Qaeda in the global war on terrorism wherever it takes us."

Earlier this month, Ethiopian and US forces were pursuing three top al-Qaeda suspects but failed to capture or kill them in a strike in the southern part of Somalia.
