Somalia festivities kill 18
2003-11-17
More than 18 people were killed and 25 wounded in fighting between rival clans in central Somalia on Friday, residents said on Saturday.
"Yeeeee-haw!"
The fighting pitted fighters of the Dir clan against varmints from enemies in the Marehan clan at Xeraale village in Galgudud region 500 km north of the capital Mogadishu. Mohamed Osman Awad, a Dir elder, told Reuters the fighting stemmed from disputes over land and unspecified acts of dire revenge™. Residents reported sporadic gunfire in the area on Saturday.

#1  Maybe yes, maye no. I expect a lot of people got swept up in the round up who's only connection to al-Qaida was the Bin Laden trading cards in their wallet.
