A new, nominally independent radio station in Mogadishu came under attack on Monday night, according to Tuesday's edition of the 'Qaran' newspaper. Staffers at the 'Horn Afrique' station in the south of the city told 'Qaran' some of the attackers were allies of Mogadishu faction leaders. One gunman was reportedly killed. The newspaper said no-one had claimed responsibility nor cited motives for the attack. Media sources told IRIN the radio began broadcasting about 10 days ago, but its aims are not yet
clear.
