MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Many people died in two strikes in Somalia by U.S. planes hunting al Qaeda suspects among fleeing Islamist fighters, Somali officials said on Tuesday. 

The strikes, part of a wide offensive also involving Ethiopian planes, were apparently aimed at an al Qaeda cell said to include suspects in bombings of U.S. embassies in east Africa and a hotel on the Kenyan coast.
