Islamic militia who have increased control of Somalia’s capital in fighting that has killed some 330 people pressed their campaign north of Mogadishu yesterday in a bid to build on their gains.

The latest battleground in the third and fiercest bout of fighting since the turn of the year between militia linked to Islamic courts and a self-styled anti-terrorism coalition of warlords was north of Mogadishu towards the town of Balad. “It’s an open terrain, many must have been killed, but I don’t know how many have died and are wounded so far,” Ibrahim Mallim, a coalition militiaman, told Reuters by telephone.
