US Marines came under attack from Somali militiamen early
Thursday (2/3) and returned fire at the Somalis' armed vehicles,
forcing them to retreat. More than 2,000 US Marines and
Italian soldiers swept ashore and secured a narrow strip of
coastline just outside Mogadishu early Tuesday (28/2), forming a
rearguard for some 2,000 withdrawing Pakistani and Bangladeshi
troops.
