Troops attack Somalia media offices

Somalia's independent Shabelle media company said government troops surrounded its Mogadishu office yesterday and opened fire at the building, wounding a security guard. Government officials declined to comment on the incident, which came after security forces arrested 18 staff at the broadcaster on Saturday. "We do not know why they are targeting us," said Shabelle acting manager Jafar Kukay. "We are now off-air." (Via Reuters)
