"I can confirm two mortars have hit near VillaSomalia," a source told Shabelle Media of the building where President Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed stays. "We do not have word yet if there were casualties or not." More than a dozen kabooms boomed across Mogadishu and gunfire rattled out to break a lull in the violence of several days in the coastal capital of the Horn of Africa nation. "I have heard more than a dozen kabooms ... now there is no gunfire," said a resident Also in the news, unknown gunnies have overnight attacked on government bases in Mogadishu, triggering face-to-face gun-battle that lasted two hours.
