 | | NAIROBI, 10 Jul 2006 (IRIN): Another 241 people were wounded as fighting raged between UIC forces and militiamen loyal to Abdi Hassan Awale Qeybdid, a faction leader, and to Hussein Aideed, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior in the Transitional Federal Government (TFG). |
 | | A doctor at Medina hospital, who confirmed the numbers of dead, said the fighting, which was intense "in the early part of Sunday", had subsided in the late afternoon, "allowing people to flee" but resumed on Monday. |
