MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) - Ethiopian troops conducting a house-to-house search for weapons opened fire Monday, killing one civilian, after gunmen threw hand grenades at soldiers, witnesses said.
Somalia's fragile government has tried a voluntary program to get arms out of the hands of civilians. But the program has not had much success in a city torn by anarchy and bloodshed in the past 16 years.
"Ethiopians opened fire. I saw one dead woman who had a small shop in the area," said resident Mohamed Osman Abdi.
