None

Eyewitnesses and medical workers say at least 13 people were killed in overnight fighting in Somalia's capital.

 

The latest round of fighting began Friday and follows a lull of about two weeks. Military officials said Friday's clashes started when insurgents attacked government soldiers. Islamic insurgents control much of Mogadishu and have been trying to topple the fragile government for three years. (AP)
