Wed, 03 Feb 2010  |  PressTV  -  At least two people have been killed and 13 others injured after two markets were burnt down in Mogadishu and Hiiran regions.

The first fire lasted five hours after a shop selling fuel was hit by mortar shell and caught fire inside Mogadishu's Bakara Market, a Press TV correspondent reported.

The fire destroyed many shops inside the market, causing many local merchants to lose their businesses, before it was extinguished by several firefighters.

The second fire broke out in a market in the Boco district of Hiiran region.

The year-old government of the Somali President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed has been battling two militant groups since May.

The two groups have vowed to topple Ahmed, launching relentless attacks aimed at seizing control of the capital and parts of the central and southern Somalia.
