World Warlord airfield takeover during Somalia withdrawal
At Mogadishu airport U.S. Marines and Italian forces fired on Somali militiamen as they moved to defend looters and resist the UN pullout. At least two militiamen were hit and no Americans were wounded. Aidid’s forces and earlier clashes shaped the tense evacuation and return of remaining U.S. Marines to ships offshore.

The House and Democrats back a centerpiece of GOP tax reform the Taxpayer Protection Act to cap state spending growth tied to inflation and population increases. If approved the act would restrict 1996 spending to about 4.2 percent above 1995 and set a two thirds threshold to remove the cap, with sponsors arguing it curbs growth while critics warn it limits future spending on prisons schools and state employees.
