| Somalia: Militants ambush soldiers in Wardhigley neighborhood |
| 2007-09-08 |
| (SomaliNet) Somalia government troops have clashed with the Islamist led insurgent groups in parts of Wardhigley district, south of the war ravaged capital of Mogadishu on Friday night, witnesses said– as soldiers left their posts in north of the city today due to mounting insurgency attacks according to reliable sources. The latest clashes came when local militants threw grenade bombs and opened fire on the government troops stationed at Bar-Ubah and Idko intersections along the 30th Road known as ‘Sodonka road’ around 7:10pm local time. As the news was sketchy there is no immediate casualty on the latest street gun battle. The incident follows today’s abandonment by the government troops in parts of Huriwa district in north of Mogadishu where the insurgents are actively moving and launch daily attacks on the government posts. |
