 MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) - Somali troops and allied Ethiopian soldiers conducted house-to-house searches Monday, pursuing gunmen who carried out an attack in the northeastern part of the capital, residents said.
Four rocket propelled grenades were fired at a convoy of Ethiopian and government troops Sunday night in Mogadishu's Hurwa district, destroying one military vehicle and triggering a 30-minute gunbattle, residents said.
"Residents in Hurwa district have stopped sending their children to school as businesses and schools were closed," said Shine Moalim Hussein, a resident in the district. "Ethiopians and Somali troops are carrying out house-to-house searches."
