Islamist rebels have seized control of a port in southern Somalia following clashes with a pro-government militia.
More than 70 people were killed in Kismayu and in the capital Mogadishu. Scores were wounded. The al-Shabaab rebel group has been targeting Somalia's interim government and its Ethiopian military allies since the start of last year. Washington has listed al-Shabaab as a terrorist organisation with close ties to Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda.
