Eight die in Mogadishu

At least eight people have been killed and another ten have been wounded in two separate attacks in the Somali capital, Mogadishu. In the first incident, armed men attacked passengers on a truck at Galgalato, a suburb in North East Mogadishu.

In the second attack, a man threw a grenade into a house in South Mogadishu where millennium celebrations were taking place -- witnesses say he was among those killed.

The motive for the attacks is unclear, although its thought they might be linked to clan disputes.
