2007-09-17
(SomaliNet) Local insurgents linked with the ousted Islamic Courts Union launched an ambush attack on the position of the government soldiers at Aden Adde junction in the second street of Bakara market in south of Mogadishu overnight, witnesses said on Sunday – as the opposition leaders of the Asmara founded new alliance for liberation Somalia vowed to engage war with the Ethiopian forces in the horn of African nation and what they called ‘its puppet government’

The rival side exchanged rocket propelled grenades and heavy machine-guns around 11:00pm local time. The skirmish lasted for 20 minutes as the sound of artillery weapons could be heard in the area which frightened the residents. There was no immediate casualty from the latest gun battle.
So ev'ryone's a crack shot ...
Police spokesman Abdi Wahid Mohamed Hussein said the troops came under attack as they were patrolling near Bakara market. He said there was no casualty on the soldiers.
