Kenyan police said yesterday they had arrested a powerful Somali warlord and two members of Somalia's exiled parliament after a bloody brawl on Thursday among MPs over the deployment of regional peacekeepers in the shattered country. Warlord Musa Sudi Yalahow, who is also the Somali transitional government trade minister, was arrested in the Kenyan capital along with lawmakers Hussein Harale Adow and Maalim Mahamoud Mohammed, a police official said. The official, who asked not be named, said the three were arrested on suspicion of involvement and incitement in Thursday's fighting in the Somali parliament that left several people injured. "We are investigating whether they were involved in the fighting. We are still pursuing others," the officer said. The three were arrested after injured lawmakers lodged complaints.The fighting broke out after more than 200 MPs gathered to debate the hotly contested issue of whether or not troops from Ethiopia, Djibouti and Kenya should participate in the force that is to be deployed by the regional InterGovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD). Television footage showed soberly-dressed lawmakers punching each other and hurling seats, books, tables and drinking glasses in all directions in the incident that observers said deepened divisions among the fractious Somalis.
