Somalia: Doctor's Without Borders Condemn 'Indiscriminate' Civilian Attacks

From The BBC:

The indiscriminate firing of heavy artillery into markets and residential areas in the Somali capital has been condemned by Medecins Sans Frontieres.

The aid group told the BBC they had treated nearly 100 blast victims in the latest upsurge of fighting involving insurgents and government forces.

MSF's Greg Elder said all groups fighting were "partly responsible".

The weak interim government, backed by African Union peacekeepers, controls only a small part of Mogadishu.

The hardline Islamist insurgents, some of whom have links to al-Qaeda, hold sway over much of southern and central Somalia.
