allAfrica.com: Somalia: 12 Killed in Mogadishu Violence, Including Ethiopia Soldiers (Page 1 of 1)

Street fights and explosions in Somalia's dangerous capital Mogadishu killed at least 11 people Sunday, including three soldiers from Ethiopia, Radio Garowe reports.

Four civilians were killed overnight and 11 others wounded in Mogadishu's Yaaqshiid district when unknown assailants hurled hand grenades inside a crowded café.

"I was next door when I heard a big explosion, and when we came outside we saw dead bodies," said a witness.

No group has claimed responsibility for the deadly bombing, but Islamist rebels have spearheading an anti-government insurgency in parts of Somalia since 2006.
