Many die in Mogadishu mortar attack

At least 13 people have been killed in a mortar attack
on a busy market in Mogadishu, the Somali capital.
Another 40 people were injured when a shell exploded
inside the Bakara market, one of the main shopping
centres in the city, on Thursday.
The attack comes after a government official said
rebels fighting the government had regrouped and were
planning a large-scale attack.
Conflict in Somalia has killed nearly 6,000 civilians
in Mogadishu this year and forced some 720,000 others
from their homes, according to a local human rights
group.
The United Nations says Somalia's humanitarian crisis
is the worst in Africa and has appealed for $406
million in aid.
Support plea
Fighters have been repeatedly clashing with the
interim government and its Ethiopian military allies
since the Islamic Courts and its allies were forced
from the capital a year ago in a short war.
Before the attack, Sheik Qasim Ibrahim Nur, the
director of security at the national security
ministry, said the government has "no power to resist
the Islamists" and was failing to control most of the
country.
"About 80 per cent of Somalia is not safe and is not
under control of the government," Nur told the AP news
agency.
Nur also appealed for international support, saying
the Islamists "are everywhere".
Witnesses said the fighters attacked several
neighbourhoods in north and south Mogadishu in the
early hours of Thursday, but there were no immediate
reports of fatalities.
