MOGADISHU, Jan 22 (Reuters) - Ethiopian troops and Somali police opened fire on Mogadishu demonstrators on Monday, killing at least three in the latest violence in parts of the capital where support for ousted Islamists ran high, a witness said.

Protesters hurled stones and some shot back with assault rifles at the joint security forces, said a local journalist who asked not to be named. The clashes took place in a neighbourhood where Ethiopian and government troops fought gunmen on Saturday.
