| 2007-08-19 |
| (SomaliNet) Three government soldiers were seriously wounded when their vehicle hit a roadside bomb near the police academy in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia on Saturday morning, witnesses said ? as there is mounting security concern in the city with constant bombing. It was a remote controlled bomb, which went off as the government car was passing the road around 7:15 am local time, according to the eyewitnesses. Suspected Islamist-led insurgent groups carried out the bomb attack. The security forces did not open fire but sealed off the site of the blast searching for any suspects. No one has been arrested for the latest attack. On Friday night, the militants attacked the police stations of Wadajir and Waberi neighbourhoods using heavy machine-guns and rocket propelled grenades. No casualty was reported on the policemen. Mogadishu has been a city of violence since the Ethiopian backed transitional government forces drove the Islamic Courts Union out of the country late December 2006. One third of the residents particularly the young people fled Mogadishu due to escalating violence. |

| #1 I'll bet that Rantburgers may be the only people on the face of the earth (outside your Somali interested in survival) that give an iota about what is happening there. Verrrry interesting that you never see this in MSM or even on cable news. |
