Deadly clash base of the Ethiopian troops in Mog
2007-10-14
(SomaliNet) Sounds of big explosion followed by serious cross fire could be heard as a deadly clash took place in the former spaghetti plant which is currently the base of the Ethiopian troops in Mogadishu.

Sources said the battle started at around 9:15pm local time and was active for more than forty minutes. Some news just says that some mortars landed at some parts of Hiliwa market. But so far there is no death reported, but property damages as Abdisalan a freelance journalist reported. The battle later escalated to Ex-control Balad and around Igar factory.

It is yet unclear the damages of this combat. The city had been quite calm for the last two days. This skirmish coincides with when the people are celebrating for their Eid-ul- fitr festival.
