Mogadishu_(dpa) _ As many as 12 disabled war veterans died and a dozen more were wounded on Friday evening after mortars hit a hospital housing former army officers in the Somali capital Mogadishu, officials said Saturday.
Islamist insurgent group al-Shabaab and its ally Hizbul Islam have been battling to remove President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, who came to power earlier this year as part of a UN-backed peace process.
“Up to 12 disabled former national army officers died in last night’s shelling in residential areas,” government spokesman Sheikh Abdirisak Qelow Darwishta told reporters in Mogadishu.
