MOGADISHU, Jan 10 (Reuters) - Sporadic gunfire rattled around an area of Mogadishu on Wednesday morning a day after the latest attack on a building there housing Ethiopian and Somali government troops, witnesses said.

Residents cowered behind walls in the Kilometre Four area, but it was unclear who was behind the shooting that began before dawn. "It reminds me of the days of the warlords when they fought over K4 and you could not move from one corner to another," one resident said.
