Fighting erupts in central Somalia, 1 killed
2007-12-13
(SomaliNet) At least one person has been killed and eight others were wounded in armed clashes between local clan militiamen which took place in Addado town of Galgadud region, central Somalia on Wednesday, witnesses said.

The fighting began this morning when a group of militiamen stormed a jail in the town and forcefully freed a man of their clan who was charged with a murder, according to the local residents. Three of the wounded people were civilians who hit by the stray bullets. The battle stopped later without interference. But local elders are now trying to solve the conflict running in the area.

Clashes relating to the clan feuds have been common in central Somalia regions for many centuries years.

#2  somedays i think the headline of 'somalia erupts around fighting' is more fitting than the 'fighting erupts in somalia' one.
