Battle of Mogadishu (2171 words)
The Battle for Mogadishu went from a standard kidnapping to an all out fight for the lives of American Special Forces.
Most of Mogadishu was built with winding alleys and roads blocked by debris.
Add that to the fact that Mogadishu itself was awash with weapons (that could arm men, women AND children) coming in and out of the city and you have yourself a recipe for disaster.
