Somalia : Islamic Courts Militias Striking Back?

Story here:

MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Somali gunmen fired at a convoy of Ethiopian troops in Mogadishu, the latest in a series of attacks against forces backing the government, a Somali government source said on Monday.

The attack happened late on Sunday in the northern Arafat area, where hours before Ethiopian soldiers helped government troops seize guns and explosives in a push to restore order after ousting Islamists in a lightning December offensive.

"An Ethiopian convoy was hit near Arafat hospital ... Two Ethiopian trucks were hit," the source said. "Thirty minutes of heavy fighting followed. There are deaths on both sides," the source added, saying three Somalis were killed in the shootout.

2 The Islamist cockroaches never stand and fight like men, but hide behind women and children.
That's how they are. Worthless scum.

3 Muslim ladies only attack in sneak attacks. No matter, I understand the so called fighting went on for 30 minutes with only a few killed. Call that fighting? Friggin amateurs. They must be used to fighting unarmed children. OUTLAW ISLAM!
