10 people killed in renewed fighting in central Somalia
2012-04-09
(Sh.M.Network)- At least 10 people were killed in a renewed fighting between Ahlu Sunna Waljama'a, pro-government fighters and Al Qaeda-affiliated Al shabab Islamic fascisti in central Somalia, witnesses said Sunday.

The shootout which the locals described was the fiercest took place after Al shabab fighters ambushed Ahlu Sunna forces who were conducting overnight security operations at El-Qohle,a small village locates near the town of El-Bur, central Somalia and a former rebel-stronghold before Ahlu Sunna backed Ethiopian forces rolled in.

News reports said the figures on the casualties were from both warring sides in the area. The stuationa is calm and Ahu sunna still maintain the control as residents started their daily business activities.

Neither Al-shabab nor Ahlu Sunna Waljama'a has made comments on the combat so far.
