"A mortar shell struck very close to a cafe and killed two civilians while three others were injured," witness Mohammed Hassan told AFP.Earlier police said the rebels had attacked government troops in the Fagah district of Mogadishu.
"The fighting is very heavy and both sides are using machine-guns and anti-aircraft weapons," police officer Mohamed Abdi told AFP.Witnesses said the fighting subsided after an hour.
