Mogadishu, 2 September 2007 - A heavy fighting broke out in Mogadishu late last night and in this fighting both the fighting groups exchanged different kinds of weapons including rocket-propelled grenades, motors, and both heavy and light machine guns.
The actual place where this confrontation happened was around the textile and milk factories. This fighting was between the government forces and the opposing groups who attacked the military bases in these places.
When Shabelle Media Network contacted this morning the police spokesperson, Mr. Abdu Wahid, he informed Shabelle that unknown groups attacked government forces' garrisons and in response the government forces defended themselves.
Mr. Abdu Wahid also said that in their side they got no loss at all, and search operations are under way in the scene of last night's fight.
However day after day the attacks carried by the armed groups against the government forces are rising.
The troubles that were happening in the city for the past one week claimed the lives of 20 people.
