Somalis parade American soldier’s corpse

1993 - Somalis paraded a US soldier’s corpse through Mogadishu in a barrow after battles in which five peacekeepers were killed, two helicopters shot down and 500 Somalis were wounded. At least one US soldier was captured alive and was being held hostage. It was the most violent 24 hours in the city since the killing of 24 Pakistani peacekeepers in an ambush on June 5 launched the war between warlord Mohammad Farah Aidid’s militia and the UN force.
