Politics 2012: Ron Paul strategy keeps things interesting
MOGADISHU, Somalia, Sept. 18 (UPI) -- Somali government soldiers opened fire Tuesday on an independent Mogadishu radio station, the second such attack in four days.
Employees said the Shabelle Radio network offices came under fire by security forces. One person was reported injured and equipment was damaged in the gunfire in the latest incident, a BBC correspondent reported.
The attack came as the Committee to Protect Journalists in New York issued a statement denouncing Saturday's attack on the building. The group said armed members of the Somali Transitional National Government security forces burst into the station and detained 19 employees for nearly three hours.
The troops alleged a grenade had been thrown at a patrol by someone from the radio station but Somalia Police spokesman Abdel Wahid Mohamed later told local media there had been no grenade attack.
He said Saturday's raid was an "unfortunate incident" carried out by "undisciplined elements within the security forces."
