MOGADISHU, April 22 (Reuters) - Continued fighting in Mogadishu killed 41 civilians and six insurgents on Sunday, taking the death toll in the last five days of battles to 230, a local human rights group said.

The figures, which do not include Somali and Ethiopian soldiers killed, came from the Elman Peace and Human Rights Organisation which has been tracking casualties from hospitals, families and counts on the street.
