#3 I read another article that reported it was the new AC-130 "Spooky".

Ouch, that's got to hurt.

#4 With four possible configurations for the AC-130, I'm sure they picked the one that would cause the most deaths the quickest. Probably used the "A" configuration, with four 7.62 gattling guns and a 20mm on the ramp. No need for the 105MM (configuration "B"), or the two 20mm instead of 7.62 ("C"). "D" configuration is classified.

I hope they've destroyed all the ICU's "technicals". That in itself would be a major defeat for ANY Somali "army".

#5 OP-
My understanding is that at least up until a few years ago, we had beehive rounds for the 105s - if they used a few of those, those guys were literally hamburger.
