In the Battle of Mogadishu there was one operation in 1983 the Gothic Serpent in Somali.
The battle intended to capture Omar Salad Elmi and Mohamed Hassan Awale, the first was Somali National Alliance Foreign Minister and the second was Aidid's political adviser.
During the mission the Task Force Ranger executed it successfully but a crowd formed around the building, including military and non-military civilians fired back on US shooting down a helicopter and a Black Down.
The troops tried to move to another crash site and confronted a lot of resistance and by the end U.S. lost 18 soldiers and had more than 73 hurted and 1 captured. This situation tore American citizens and President Clinton decided withdraw majority of U.S forces from Somali because of public response to this losses.
