Al-Shabaab, clans fight in central Somalia

MASAGAWAY, Somalia, Feb. 11 (UPI) -- At least four people were slain in fighting between the al-Shabaab group of Somali insurgents and local clan militias Wednesday, witnesses said.

The fighting in the central Somalia town of Masagaway started after the clan militias attacked the town, residents told the Shabelle Media Network. They said the dead didn't include any civilians.

The news agency said the militias wrested control the town from al-Shabaab, which had controlled Masagaway for a year. The fighting had stopped by late Wednesday and the situation appeared calm, Shabelle said.
