My Comment: The French are denying that their military has become involved in the conflict in Somalia .... and the Americans are saying that their forces are not involved .... but someone's advanced military jets and drones are doing the bombing .... and no one in eastern Africa has that capability.
What is my take .... the French have air assets in the region .... my money is on them for doing this bombing campaign.
