Ethiopian troops under fire in Somalia

Gunmen attacked Ethiopian troops supporting the Somali government, sparking a fight in the second straight day of violence in a city struggling to emerge from more than a decade of chaos.

Farah Abdi Hussein, who witnessed yesterday’s attack, said gunmen launched grenades on Ethiopians about 2.5 miles from Mogadishu airport. One Somali soldier was wounded, according to a Somali military official.
