Mogadishu: At least eight people died in new violence in Somalia's capital Mogadishu on Friday.
Residents said security forces opened fire at a group of youths who were looting iron sheets from an abandoned police base in Madina district, in the city's southwest.
Witness Abdi Buno said two teenage boys were killed and three others wounded inthe shooting. "The stray bullets also killed a woman and two other young boys in the neighbourhood." Buno said.
In the northern Mogadishu district of Huriwa, one man died when suspected Islamist insurgents attacked Ethiopian troops preparing to distribute food supplies, residents said.
The bodies of two men, bound hand and foot, were discovered earlier on Friday lying in a pool of blood in the capital's sprawling Bakara Market, they said.
