![]() According to Mosa Aden Hersi, who lives 15 miles from Ras Kamboni, said earlier fighting in the area had triggered a brush fire. At least 35 civilians were killed along with fighters during the battle. "We saw the dead bodies of 17 men in military uniform under a small hill, but we do not know their identity," he said. "The fighting is near and around Ras Kamboni. This is the last hideout of the terrorists. It is a small unit, mopping up operations that have not yet been completed," Meles told reporters in Ethiopia on Wednesday. |
