MOGADISHU, Somalia, July 22 (UPI) -- At least three people died in Somalia in fighting between insurgents and security forces, Voice of America reported Sunday.
A grenade thrown by insurgents killed at least two people Saturday in the Bakara market in Mogadishu. One insurgent was killed when security officers returned fire, VOA reported.

The busy market has been the scene of violence nearly every day for weeks.
Islamist radicals controlled Mogadishu until late last year, when the government ousted them with the aid of Ethiopian forces. The government since has struggled to gain full control of the city and stabilize life there.
