| Somiland accuses the US of invasion |
| 2005-05-08 |
| The Government of Somaliland in north-eastern Somalia has accused the United States of violating its air space. The accusation follows another that US Marines landed in the area looking for terrorists last week. Authorities in Somaliland - a self declared region in northern Somalia - say a United States helicopter entered their air space last week without permission. They claim the crew took photographs of the port, airport and coastguard base at the town of Berbera. Residents still say US Marines landed and showed them pictures of wanted terrorists, reports the United States has denied. US officials say the reports have confused military exercises conducted off neighbouring Djibouti 400 kilometres away, but Somaliland plans to lodge a formal complaint. |
