MOGADISHU, Feb 12 (Reuters) - Five mortar bombs exploded in northern Mogadishu on Monday, killing at least three people, wounding several others and flattening homes in the Somali capital's latest outbreak of post-war violence, witnesses said.

"In one house, a man and his son died while his wife and daughter were injured. They have been rushed to hospital," resident Mohamed Nur said by telephone. "Another woman died in our neighbourhood and at least three other people were wounded."
