Updated on 09 July 2007
Explosions and gunfire in the Somali capital killed 13 people and wounded nine others over the weekend, the latest upsurge of violence in a city already wracked by near-daily explosions, police and witnesses said.
Eight civilians, four soldiers and a government official died on Sunday, some from a land mine explosion, others from gunfire, officials said.
Mogadishu's police chief confirmed the deaths, saying the government would continue security operations in the city, especially at a main flash point, the Bakara market.
