"Militants" attack Ethiopian base
2008-01-19
(SomaliNet) The crazed Islamic terrorists militants launched fired aimless rocket propel grenades and mortar shells on the Ethiopian military base in Maslah compound without hitting anything, north of the supposed Somalia capital overnight hours after 32 people killed and over hundred other wounded in one of the bloodiest violence raged in Mogadishu.
In other words, more of the same.
Locals said the Ethiopian soldiers in Maslah military compound responded with heavy artillery weapons to the attackers. The hospitals in the capital continue to receive many civilian wounds as the number reached over hundred.

The areas hit by the yesterday's shelling now resumed calm with many people began fleeing the capital in fear of further clashes.

"It is becoming common that the Ethiopian give away artillery shelling to all surrounding villages whenever they are attacked by the insurgents," said Fadumo Saed, a mother of five children who is now managing to escape the capital from more possible bombing.
Ought to teach 'em something, but it pro'ly won't.
