Somalia: Clashes Between Ethiopian Troops and the Islamic Courts

The Jihad continues in Somalia: Somalia accused of ambushing Ethiopian troops

Mogadishu, Somalia - Islamic fighters ambushed an Ethiopian convoy close to a camp where the Ethiopians are training troops loyal to the weak transitional government, witnesses said Thursday.

The Islamic fighters targeted the convoy with a
remote-controlled bomb, blowing up one of the vehicles, 35km south-west of Baidoa, the government's headquarters.

Islamic militia told The Associated Press around 20 Ethiopians were killed during the attack. The claim could not be independently verified. A Somali government official denied the attack took place.
