The US has launched an attack against a "known al-Qaeda terrorist" in southern Somalia, the Pentagon says.BBC (London) - Three missiles hit Dhoble town early on Monday, reportedly killing four people and wounding 20.
People are fleeing the town, fearing more strikes. Residents say planes could still be seen flying overhead on Monday morning.
Islamist insurgents seized the town last week and reports said a leader, Hassan Turki, had been in the area.
Mr Turki is on the US list of "financers of terrorism".
US Defense Department spokesman Bryan Whitman refused to give the identity of the target, whether the strike had achieved its goal or how the strike had been carried out.
