Suspected Islamic insurgents fire on Somalia president's plane; no casualties

(CNN) - Suspected Islamic insurgents fired mortar rounds at a plane carrying Somalia's transitional president, but no one - including Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed - was harmed, a presidential spokesman said.
The attack happened while the plane was about to take off from Mogadishu's airport Sunday around 11 a.m. local time, spokesman Hussien Mohammed Huubsireb said.
"Al-Shaabab has actually tried to harm the president, but thank God nobody was hurt," Huubsireb said.
