MOGADISHU, Dec 9 (Reuters) - Somali Islamists and pro-government soldiers fought in heavy clashes for a second day on Saturday, witnesses said, in the latest escalation of skirmishing many fear will erupt into all-out war. The fighting occurred in Maddoy village about 40 km (25 miles) from the interim government's headquarters in Baidoa, the only town it controls in its own country. The two sides fought in the area on Friday, killing at least two bystanders.
