Ambush attack kills government soldier in Mogadishu
2007-01-15
(SomaliNet) At least one soldier of the transitional government has been killed and civilian person was injured in ambush attack in Somalia capital, Mogadishu later on Sunday – amid series of explosions and attacks against the presence of the Ethiopian forces in the country.

Witnesses told Somalinet that an unknown group of militiamen attacked a police station located in Huriwa district in north of Mogadishu where they killed a policeman and took the guns of three other policemen. A girl has also been wounded in the attack, which happened around 10:05 pm local time. The assailants escaped unharmed.
Sounds like the Islamic Courts are hanging around.
Elsewhere in the city, unidentified men have launched an ambush attack to convoys of Somalia and Ethiopian forces in northwest of the capital Mogadishu. The allied forces responded with gunfire and repelled the attackers. The convoys were passing near Coca-Cola Company on the main industry road. There is no immediate casualty on the latest attacks.
