Ethiopian soldier’s corpse is stoned
The body of an Ethiopian soldier killed in clashes between troops and Islamic militants was dragged through the street and pelted with stones in the Somalian capital, Mogadishu.
The soldier was among two Ethiopian troops and a Somali killed in the heavy fighting.
Soldiers from neighbor- ing Ethiopia have been in Somalia since helping the shaky United Nations-backed government drive an Islamic militia from power in Mogadishu and much of the country’s south in December.
Fighting has killed thousands of Somalis this year.
