30.05.2002
At least 60 people have died in the latest fighting in Mogadishu, with hundreds wounded, local sources told IRIN on Tuesday. The bloodiest fighting in Somalia in the last few years erupted on Tuesday morning after militia, reportedly loyal to Mogadishu faction leader Muse Sudi Yalahow, clashed with forces of the Transitional National Government (TNG) in north Mogadishu, "in the same general area where clashes between the two sides occurred last Friday [24 May]", Muhammad Tahlil, a north Mogadishu resident, told IRIN.
