Witnesses and hospital officials in Somalia say rival Islamist groups have clashed in the capital, killing at least 10 people and wounding dozens.

The fighting Sunday is the latest in days of fighting in Mogadishu. Resident Abdinasir Ali says he saw six bodies from the same family. They were killed when a mortar shell hit their house.

Witnesses say four others have been killed in a nearby house and a tea shop.

Medina hospital official Dahir Mohamed Mohamud said 60 people have been admitted this weekend.
