10 killed in clashes in Mogadishu
2010-09-28
[Iran Press TV] At least 10 people have been killed and 10 others maimed in intense clashes between al-Shabab fighters and Somali government forces backed by African Union soldiers.
*sigh* Boys will be boys. A pity this kind of boyish play results in so few actually reaching manhood. It's the third reason there aren't nearly as many Muslims in the world as past trends would lead one to expect.
In one incident on Monday, four non-combatants were killed and ten others were injured when fighting broke out in the districts of Hodan and Howlwadaag in northern Mogadishu.

Witnesses said that both sides were using small arms and artillery, the Press TV correspondent in Mogadishu reported.

In addition, six Somali government troops were killed in a battle with al-Shaboobs in the Waberi district of Mogadishu in which both sides lobbed mortar shells at each other.

Elsewhere in the country on Monday, al-Shabab jugged a religious scholar in the Middle Shabelle region of southern Somalia on the pretext that he had actively worked to discourage young Somalis from joining the radical group.
