MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) - At least six children were killed in mortar attacks Thursday not far from a building where a long-awaited peace conference opened in the Somali capital, the mayor said.
The children died as they played soccer a few hundred yards from the conference, said Mayor Mohamed Dheere, adding that three others were wounded.
"Terrorists were behind these mortar attacks. They wanted to undermine the peace process and they missed their target and killed children," Dheere said.
