 MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) - Three days of fighting between Islamic insurgents and Ethiopian troops backing the government has killed at least 113 civilians, a local human rights group said on Friday. The U.N. said hundreds of thousands of residents had fled.
Sporadic fighting between Wednesday and Friday had wounded 229 people, said Sudan Ali Ahmed, chairman of the decade-old Elman Human Rights Organization. He said his organization collected the figures from hospitals, local residents and its agents recording burials in the Mogadishu.
"We condemn both sides of the conflict and call on them to immediately stop the mass massacre in the capital," Ahmed told The Associated Press.
