He said three
government soldiers were also killed and six wounded. The Shebab
attacked several positions held by government forces as well as by the
African Union force (AMISOM) that has kept the government alive for more
than two years.
Witnesses said the fighting also killed civilians. "The fighting was at
its worst around Shibis and Bondhere districts.
They exchanged heavy artillery and machinegun fire that left 12 dead,
including civilians," Mohamed Bashir, a local resident, said.
