                   7 Killed in Shootout at Mogadishu IDP Camp

   by Harun Maruf

   At least seven people were killed in Somalia's capital in a shootout
   between soldiers at a displaced persons camp.

   Witnesses said the shooting occurred Monday as people at the camp lined
   up to obtain food cards. Camp resident Habiba Abdirahman told VOA
   Somali that a soldier tried to move people into the line, setting off a
   dispute that escalated into gunfire.

   A worker at Mogadishu's Media Hospital said the dead included a
   nine-month-old child and an 85-year-old man. At least 10 people were
   injured in the shooting.

   Recurrent drought and chronic violence have left millions of Somalis
   dependent on food aid in recent years.
