Witnesses said other three mortars hit the seashore near the port where a few children were swimming. One teenage boy was killed and at least six others were hurt in the incident. A witness, who spoke to Shabelle on the condition of anonymity in fear for his security, said Ethiopian troops based in former Somali national university compound, about 7 km south Mogadishu downtown, fired several rockets after the five mortars were targeted at the seaport.

Oh, those perfidious Aethiops! Shooting back after being targeted? Quelle horror!

#1  Come on strategists! A couple of the pro-West militias should be re-armed and let loose on the terrorists. Worthless consensus building is sandbagging the GWOT. Again and again, we hand the terrorists the opportunity to polarize peoples. That is the recipe for long term instability. These never-ending war scenarios are perverse morale and funding killers. Have all our leaders got S&$% for brains?
