An Ethiopian warplane has air bombed Mogadishu's main airport. Witnesses said a number of people were killed and dozens injured.

Sheik Abdirahim Aden Wehliye has told Shabelle by cell phone that an Ethiopian fighter jet dropped two bombs in to the airport. He did not say the exact number of casualties.

He said one female worker was injured. "The Ethiopian MIG dropped two missiles in the airport and fired automatic machinegun at the neighborhood near the airport," he said.
