Insurgent kills 2 soldiers in Mogadishu
 (SomaliNet) A suspected local terrorist militant Saturday killed two government soldiers in Suuq Bacaad market in Yaqshid district, north of the Somalia capital Mogadishu. Resident in the area told Somalinet that he ambushed the soldiers who were walking inside the market around 12:20pm local time. A terrorist man armed with a pistol killed the soldiers in ambush attack, said one eyewitness fearing of reprisal.
Soon after the shooting, the security forces cordoned the area and began investigations in the market arresting several people in connection with the attack. The police are questioning the detainees. Anyone who is found innocent will be freed but the guilty terrorist ones will be arrested, local official said. The government soldiers and its Ethiopian forces have been target for ambush attacks and bombings by the Islamist insurgents since the ouster of Islamic Courts Union from Somalia late December 2007. The ICU has been ruling much of south and central Somalia for six months.
