Mogadishu bombings escalate, civilians killed |
2007-07-13 |
![]() Unknown local militants continue targeting government soldiers with hand grenade bombs. No group has claimed the responsibility for the escalation of the violence. Violence in Bakar market, which the government believes is a hot-spot, has been in on and off situation and business owners are now fed up with the mayhem. All businesses were closed as people deserted the market fleeing for their dear lives. Meanwhile, a new influx of people fleeing the violence in Mogadishu began today heading outside of the capital for safety. The fleeing people fear that shelling might resume in the capital following nighttime mortar attacks carried out by supporters of the ousted Islamic Courts Union. |
