Mog: Clashes in Bakara market kill five |
2007-08-29 |
![]() Also two civilians have been killed and four others were wounded in several grenades which exploded inside the main Bakara market. The grenades were thrown at policemen who were patrolling the market but missed the target and caused civilian casualty. Medical sources say that up to ten civilians were wounded today alone in the clashes as the civilians became victims for the violence in the capital. Meanwhile, around SOS mother and child hospital in north of the city, the government soldiers clashed with the supporters of the ousted Islamic Courts Union. There is no immediate casualty from that gun battle which lasted for while, as residents say. |

#1 Just wondering if there were "no policemen patrolling the market" would there have been any violence? Maybe the best thing to do here is to make the market "police and terrorist free" like a "gun free and drug free" zone. |
