I heard speculation (and I think it could be informed speculation) that one of the reasons why Aideed went after the Pakistani contingent and ambushed them at the cigaretter factory was because some soldiers had raped Somali women who were working aboard the various compounds.

I've never heard any other corraborating information, but it was a commonly held belief among most of the Marines who were relieved by my platoon in 1994. They were guys who had deployed on the heels of the 3 October fight, for a security mission at the embassy compound, and they got to hear a lot of scuttlebutt from the USLO staff.
