The public news. Who ordered these attacks? Obama. Seems the war on terrorism, both domestic and foreign, has heated up quite a bit with this President. Oh, yeah, and he also shoots to kill Somali pirates.
Of course, this stuff was all over the news at the time (I just found them again via simple google search), but were generally overlooked in favor of publicity and coverage of the late summer Republican outrage and town hall meetings about death panels and opposition to healthcare reforms.

August 7, 2009: Pakistan - Pakistan's Taliban chief Baitullah Mehsud was killed by a CIA missile strike, a severe blow to extremists threatening the stability of this nuclear-armed nation and a possible boost to U.S.-Pakistani cooperation in fighting insurgents who wreak havoc along the Afghan border. Pakistani officials vowed to dismantle the rest of the network run by Baitullah Mehsud regardless of who takes over, a move seen as essential to crippling the violent Islamists behind dozens of suicide attacks and beheadings in the country.
September 15, 2009: Kenya - US helicopter gunships attack a convoy of vehicles carrying Al Qaeda militants and killed Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan, an important Al Qaeda leader wanted for the bombings of two U.S. embassies in East Africa in 1998 and an Israeli-owned Kenyan hotel in 2002. The raid shows U.S. President Barack Obama's administration does not intend to allow Somalia to remain a safe haven for Al Qaeda and it is determined to thwart the drive by Islamic militant group Al Shabaab to control Somalia. Al Shabaab has direct links to Al Qaeda and uses foreign troops in its battles to control Somalia.
September 20, 2009: Airport shuttle driver Najibullah Zazi is at the center of a growing FBI investigation into what officials describe as an al-Qaeda cell nearly ready to launch a domestic terror attack. T he Colorado resident was arrested Sept. 20 on charges of misleading investigators after allegedly denying he recognized his handwriting on bombmaking materials. His father, Mohammed Wali Zazi, 53, and a New York City man, Ahmad Wais Afzali, were also arrested on similar allegations.
September 25, 2009: An American admirer of the Taliban and a Jordanian national were under arrest Friday in separate attempts to blow up an Illinois courthouse and a Texas kyscraper, authorities said.
