2008-11-01 | |
(SomaliNet) Authorities have arrested an Islamic cleric suspected of involvement in a wave of suicide attacks that killed more than 20 people, a Somali official says.
Muse Gelle Yusuf, a governor in Puntland, said local cleric Sheik Mohamed Ismail was arrested Wednesday and was being questioned. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the blasts, but the U.S. says they appeared to have the markings of an al-Qaida attack.- | |
