MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) - Muslim militants briefly overran a police station Monday after violent clashes with police that killed five people, a day after the prime minister began new peace efforts, witnesses said.
The insurgent attack was the latest brazen move by fighters linked to an Islamic extremist group that was driven out in December 2006 by Somalia's Western-backed government and its Ethiopian allies.
Leyla Adow, a Mogadishu resident who said she witnessed the violence, said the police station was briefly overrun.
