The Jerusalem Post: Somalia violence rages on despite UN call for peace

Excerpt:
"Artillery shells and mortars rained down on Mogadishu Tuesday after a week of raging battles, despite a plea by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to end the violence that local groups say has left nearly 300 people dead.

Islamic insurgents clashed with allied Ethiopian and Somali government forces, using mortars and rocket propelled grenades against tanks and artillery positions in the north of the battle-scarred coastal city."
