The Somali president said on Saturday that Al Qaida should stop interfering in the affairs of his war-ravaged country. President Shaikh Sharif Shaikh Ahmad spoke following last week's publication of a tape by Osama Bin Laden in which Bin Laden called him an "infidel" and urged Somalis to overthrow his new government. "I do declare, he's stopped a'preachin and gone to meddlin'!" | Ahmed said Al Qaida "has never helped Somalis reach a peaceful solution and has never wanted Somalis to have a government." He said Al Qaida should leave Somalis alone.
