MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Somalia's cabinet declared a state of emergency on Saturday and the parliament speaker asked neighboring countries to send troops to help the government within the next 24 hours as fighting intensified in the capital.
Two legislators have been killed in the last two days in worsening violence between government forces and hardline Islamists trying to oust the Horn of Africa nation's leadership.
Al Shaabab insurgents stepped up an offensive against Somalia's government last month and on Thursday killed the country's security minister and at least 30 other people in a suicide car bomb attack.
They also killed an MP in northern Mogadishu on Friday.
"Today the Somali cabinet has unanimously declared that the country is in a state of emergency," a cabinet statement said.
