Heavy battles in Somali capital

Ethiopian reinforcements were sent into the battle zone

Ethiopian troops supporting Somalia's interim government have been involved in fierce battles with insurgents in Somalia's capital, Mogadishu.
At least five Ethiopian soldiers and seven civilians have died in fighting in areas close to the stadium.

Eyewitnesses told the BBC that three of the soldiers' bodies were dragged through the streets by militiamen.

The UN says the city is facing a "humanitarian catastrophe" with some 80,000 people fleeing recent fighting.
