MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) - Somali troops and their Ethiopian allies pounded insurgent positions in the capital with bombs and tank shells Thursday, sending residents fleeing a surge in fighting that killed at least 10 people and wounded 50.
A witness reported seeing a dead soldier's body dragged through the streets.
The military operation was the beginning of a three-day push to restore order in Mogadishu as Ethiopian troops who helped oust an Islamic militia withdraw, said Mohamed Mohamud Husein, spokesman for the Somali president.
