Somalia: overnight shelling kills three civilians
2008-02-17
(SomaliNet) Three people were killed and eleven others wounded by overnight cross shelling of heavy artilleries in Suqa-holaha, north eastern of Somalia's capital Mogadishu, local sources confirmed. Islamist fighters in the area fired Maslah military camp, currently a base of the Ethiopian forces in the country and in response the military shelled Suqa-holaha environs, witnesses said.

Tensions remain high in the deserted areas of the neighborhood. Yesterday, many parts of the this villages were cut off from the city centre by search operation of Ethiopian troops in former Maslah military camp and their colleagues in former spaghetti factory in Hiliwaa.

The death of these people came after relatives failed to take their loved ones to hospitals since roadblocks and horror night-time movement in the capital made incredibly not easy to go outside for such important services.
