===============================================================================
Mogadishu — Heavy fighting between the Islamist fighters and transitional
government soldiers has broken out in Dabka intersection in Makka Al-mukarama
Street in Mogadishu, witnesses told Shabelle radio on Thursday.
Several mortar shells landed at several neighborhoods in parts of Hodan
district like Barmuda, KPP and other areas in the capital during the bitter
fighting between the two sides.
Officials of the emergency traffic officials confirmed Shabelle radio they
deployed more injured civilians from many different areas in the capital adding
that they could not reach some of the areas of the fighting due to heavy
shelling still continuing and fears of their own lives.
There had been more vehicles stopped between Dabka and Bakara intersections
where the heavies fighting started today and there is information about the
passengers of the people who were on board those buses.
It is very difficult to know more about the real casualties of deaths and
injures due to the clashes with the heavy shelling in the capital Mogadishu.
There are no comments about the warring sides in the capital as the clashes are
still continuing in Mogadishu.
