MOGADISHU, Dec 25 (Reuters) - Ethiopian fighter jets attacked a second Islamist-held airfield in Somalia on Monday, hours after spraying the runway at Mogadishu international airport with gunfire, an Islamist fighter said by telephone.

"Three MiGs are now attacking Baledogle," said the fighter, who asked not be named, referring to Somalia's biggest military airfield, about 100 km (60 miles) west of the capital Mogadishu. "They are targeting the runway and I can see it being hit."
