A Somali man is treated at the Medina hospital after he was wounded by a stray bullet during fighting between two rival militias, Wednesday, March 14, 2007 in the Somali capital, Mogadishu. Insurgents have launched almost daily attacks against government forces and offices in Mogadishu since Ethiopian troops drove out the Islamic forces in December.
