Somalia - Shells Fired by Rebels Hit a Refugee Camp - NYTimes.com At least five people were killed when a salvo of mortar shells intended for Somalia's presidential palace missed and landed on a nearby refugee camp, residents and the African Union's peacekeeping force said Monday. Shabab militants said they fired more than a dozen mortar shells at the presidential compound in Mogadishu, their second such attack in less than a week. Paddy Ankunda, a spokesman for the African Union force, said some mortar rounds crashed into a camp for Somalis displaced by war and famine about 500 yards from the presidential palace.
