U.S. congressman Donald Payne faced a mortar attack in Mogadishu, Somalia today. Payne is a New Jersey Democrat and chairman of the House of Representatives' Foreign Affairs subcommittee on Africa.
Payne met with Somalia's president and prime minister during a one-day visit to discuss piracy, national security and cooperation between Somalia and the U.S.
Six mortar shells were fired toward the airport, none landing in the airport but mortar shells were found in a residential area. No one was hurt in the attack.
