A Somali Technical with an anti missile gun on the truck on the outskirt of Mogadishu, Sunday, May 28, 2006. Sporadic gunfire rang out Sunday across Mogadishu but the Somali capital was relatively calm a day after fierce fighting between Islamic militiamen and their secular rivals. The militias mainly kept to their defensive positions Sunday.   The fighting Saturday killed at least eight people and wounded 12 others, said Ali Bile, a medical worker at Keysaney Hospital near the site of the battles in southern Mogadishu.  In the past several days, hundreds have fled Mogadishu to avoid the fighting that has killed at least 74 people since last Wednesday.(AP Photo)MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) - Sporadic gunfire rang out Sunday across Mogadishu, but the Somali capital was relatively calm a day after fierce fighting between Islamic militiamen and their secular rivals.

Fighting Saturday killed at least 17 people and wounded 25 others, said Dr. Hassan Gutale of Medina Hospital.

"If the fighting continues, the hospitals will not be able to cope," Gutale said. "Some of the hospitals have already run out of medicine."
