MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) - Police ferreting out insurgents in Somalia's conflict-wracked capital came under attack Wednesday, and a battle that followed left at least six people dead and dozens injured, officials and witnesses said.
Police were attacked with grenades and gunfire when they went to search a possible insurgents' hideout in Mogadishu, said Col. Abdullahi Hassan Barise, the capital's deputy police commissioner.
In the ensuing fight near Bakara Market in the south of the capital, two civilians, one insurgent and a policeman were killed, said Barise. Two other civilians wounded in the crossfire later died.
