"WASHINGTON — The United States launched an airstrike in Somalia against suspected terrorist targets — the second such attack this month, defense officials said Wednesday.

The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the action was carried out in secret, provided few details about the strike by an Air Force AC-130 gunship earlier this week and were uncertain whether the intended target was killed.

One official suggested that early indications showed that no high-value target was killed or captured."
 
Well, to be picky, an AC-130 is not a bomber, and I find no reference to bombs being dropped in the article you linked too.

That said, being the target of a AC-130 is no picnic I'm sure.

Then why did he open his fool mouth, if it's a secret?

Also, per Mr Skinny, you might want to use the word attack or strafe, as AC-130's use cannons, not bombs, to rend flesh and splinter bone, as well as to blow things up.
