Shelling Kills Two, Wounds 8 Others in Bakara Market

Mogadishu — At least two civilians have been killed and 8 others have been wounded in Baraka market after shelling targeted to the market, witnesses and officials told Shabelle radio on Thursday.

Ali Muse, one of the emergency traffic officials confirmed Shabelle radio that they took at least 8 injured civilians to the hospitals in Mogadishu adding that several mortar shells landed into many different areas in the market.

Abshir Nor Farah ( Ba'adle), the chairman of the Somali composers' council had talked the shelling pointing out that it was terrorizing and caused more casualties of deaths, injuries and loss of property and halted the business movement of the market.

"AMISOM paid the compensation of the Somalis' camels which killed recently. They believe that the camel is very big so that is why they paid the costs. But the people are very small. They are nothing so that is the reason they are still continuing the bombardment to empty the people," Abshir Ba'adle said.

How ever the case it is unclear why the AMISOM troops would not stop shelling the market, the biggest market in the Somali capital Mogadishu.
