Somalia: Fighting, blast kills at least 12 in capital
Fighting between government forces and rebels, and a roadside blast on Wednesday killed at least 12 people in the Somali capital and wounded 22 others, a medic and residents said.
Residents in the first incident said rebels attacked government forces between the president's palace and the main Bakara Market, prompting an exchange of shells and machinegun fire. "We have so far collected seven dead people and 22 others injured from around Bakara market," Ali Muse, the coordinator of ambulance services, told Reuters. (Reuters)
