U.N. strikes aidid target in biggest Somali raid yet
United Nations and U.S. forces launched a second night of heavy shelling near Mogadishu in a bid to strike warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid after two ambushes killed 23 Pakistani peacekeepers. The assault hit what was believed to be Aidid’s residence and an arms cache, with witnesses reporting explosions and local facilities damaged. President Clinton said allied troops suffered no casualties and vowed continued pressure on Aidid’s faction. Secretary of State Christopher cited destruction of the city’s radio tower water plant and a cigarette factory.
