MOGADISHU, Somalia -- Mortar attacks in a residential area and on a hotel in the Somali capital killed five people and injured 10 yesterday, a day after a pro-Islamist group warned it would step up violence.
"A mortar hit our house, killing my 14-year-old daughter," said Sadiya Dahir Nur.
A house was also hit, killing three and wounding four.
A blast at a homeless camp killed a 13-year-old girl and wounded two, said a nurse at nearby Banadir Hospital.
Mogadishu's airport and a hotel where the transitional government was holding a weeklong meeting to discuss reconciliation was also attacked.
