Scores Killed in Somali Clashes
-------------------------------



In Somalia, at least six people were killed and twenty-five people
injured Wednesday in fighting between African Union-backed Somali forces
and Islamic fighters. The clashes follow Tuesday’s hotel suicide bombing
in Mogadishu that killed thirty-eight people, including eight members of
the Somali parliament.
