MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) - A 13-year-old boy and a woman were killed by stray bullets and five others were injured as Ethiopian troops protecting government installations battled with insurgents, witnesses said Monday.
About 20 heavily armed men engaged in a 15-minute gunbattle with Ethiopian troops at the defense ministry late Sunday before they disappeared, said eyewitness Khalif Dahir, who lives near the base.
The boy, who was sitting in front of his house, was hit in the head by a bullet. The woman was fatally shot while traveling in a truck, witnesses said.
