MOGADISHU
UN troops fought Somali gunmen in Mogadishu for nearly three hours
yesterday, and three US soldiers were wounded, AP reports from Mogadishu.
Mr David Stockwell, UN spokesman, denied a report of 12 American deaths,
adding: 'We don't really have an idea of the size of the militia that
attacked us.'
A spokesman for Gen Mohamed Farrah Aideed, the fugitive warlord, said as
many as 60 Somalis may have died, including civilians caught in crossfire.
