The head of the police communication office Abdiwahid Mohamed Hussein told Somalinet that insurgents carried out hit and run attack on the Howlwadag police station around 12:35pm mid night wounding two policemen. Residents said the militants using automatic machine-guns and rocket propelled and hand grenades ambushed the station as the police forces returned heavy gunfire. There is no independent source confirming the police casualty. Last night's attack on the police station was part of the insurgent campaign against the interim government and its Ethiopian forces. On Friday, the leader of the Islamic Courts Union Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed urged the insurgents to sacrifice their lives to liberate the country from the occupation. |
