 MOGADISHU: The latest flare-up in fighting between Islamic militia and a self-styled "anti-terrorism" alliance of warlords in Somalia's capital Mogadishu has killed at least 35 people, sources on both sides said on Tuesday. Fighting, which many believe is being fuelled by US support for the warlords, continued for a third day on Tuesday in the run-down Siisii area of the lawless coastal city. "By yesterday, 35 people have died from both sides, including civilians, and over 70 are wounded," Ali Nur, an alliance militia member, told Reuters by telephone, adding that he was on his way to the battle zone.
