MOGADISHU - Somali gunmen attacked and overran a company of Zimbabwean soldiers, capturing most of them and killing at least one, a UN official said. The attack by supporters of south Mogadishu warlord Mohamed Farah Aideed in the central town of Belet-Huen over the weekend brought a strong hint from Zimbabwe that it would pull out its 800 troops.
