At least one Somali government soldier was killed in the attack.\u003cbr/\u003eIt was not clear if any Ethiopian soldiers had been injured in the attack.\u003cbr/\u003eSeveral civilians who were injured in Tuesday's attack were also taken to Medina Hospital.\u003cbr/\u003eThe attack was in the heart of the city, which government forces backed by Ethiopian troops, tanks and warplanes captured from Islamist militias on December 28.\u003cbr/\u003eZamzam Sheik Ahmed, a Mogadishu resident, said he did not want Ethiopian troops in Somalia: \"The Somali government is responsible for this because it allowed the Ethiopians to be deployed in the country.\"\u003cbr/\u003eResidents also reacted to US airstrikes in Somalia that have been aimed a senior al-Qaida suspects.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I do see it is an act of aggression, and America want to destroy our country and our people because they have massacred our people in the southern region,\" Madahey Ali Hashi said.\u003cbr/\u003eSomali Presidential chief of staff Abdirizak Hassan said at least three US airstrikes have been launched since Monday and that more were likely. \u003cbr/\u003eBut the Ethiopian prime minister said that he was aware of only one American air strike in Somalia, and that it had not killed any civilians.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I have been assured by our troops that no civilians were killed,\" Meles Zenawi told a news conference in Addis Ababa.\u003cbr/\u003eHe added that, in his opinion, the air strike would not help create an Iraq-style insurgency or hinder efforts to build a peacekeeping force in the country.\u003cbr/\u003eMeles told a news conference the American air strike targeted 20 high-level members of the Islamic courts movement linked to al-Qaida.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I was told of about eight people dead, and five wounded. I suspect the five wounded terrorists are now under the control of our troops,\" he said. \u003cbr/\u003eHe said he could not identify the Islamic leaders killed, or say if they included any of the al-Qaida suspects wanted by the US in connection with the embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania.\u003cbr/\u003eMeles also said DNA tests might be carried out on some of the bodies to ascertain their identities.\u003cbr/\u003eUS attacks in Somalia raised concerns around the globe about future prospects for peace in the troubled Horn of Africa nation.\u003cbr/\u003eEU nations led the way on
