  • Death toll rises, fighting spreads in Somalia

    Somalia had been under discussion. About their wonderful economic growth? I pretty much stayed out of that whimsical thread.

    Reuters - Thu May 11, 12:25 PM ET

    MOGADISHU, Somalia - The death toll in Somalia's worst fighting for a decade rose to more than 120 on Thursday, as militias battled for control of the capital with mortars, rocket-propelled grenades and anti-aircraft guns. Hundreds of people were wounded as shells crashed into their homes in Mogadishu's overcrowded northern shanty town of Siisii. Many more fled to escape the fighting, which spread to neighboring heavily populated areas on Thursday.

    This is all about gloating over that whole Black Hawk Down thing right?
