Somalian Legislature Breaks into Brawl
Nicole King - All Headline News Staff Writer Baidoa, Somalia - A brawl broke out Sunday in the legislature after Somalia's Prime Minister Ali Mohamed Gedi survived a no confidence motion in parliament. Armed police had to come in and take control. Legislators punched each other and wrestled on the groud after Gedi got 88 votes, far short of the two-thirds votes that's necessary to censure him. Immediately after the vote was announced, police came into the parliament and pulled lawmakers apart and took Gedi out. Defeat would have meant the end of the interim government's executive which is already in chaos over threats from an Islamist movement.
