MOGADISHU: At least 20 people were killed Friday after an intense battle between government forces and Islamic insurgents in the Somali capital, medical officials said. Friday's fighting follows a lull of about two weeks, since scores of civilians were killed in two days of violence in the capital.
Military spokesman Col. Ibrahim Kalmoy said the fighting started when insurgents attacked government soldiers in southern Mogadishuin the Taleh area. He said three soldiers were wounded during the fighting.
`The enemy was forced to disappear,'' said Kalmoy. African Union troops, deployed in Mogadishu to guard key government installations, backed the government troops during the fighting.
