| Weapons intercepted in southern Somalia |
| 2007-06-02 |
| (SomaliNet) A lorry carrying ammunitions and weapons to the southern port city of Kismayu in Somalia have reportedly been intercepted by the government forces in Bulo-Gadud village, some miles away to Kismayu, 500km south of Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia. Security sources say that the forces at the Bulo-gadud check point found illegal weapons on the truck after searching the onboard belongings. They arrested the driver and confiscated the truck. A local official said the lorry was heading to Kismayu where there is still a conflict between two clans in Darod tribe within the transitional government. If the weapons confiscation confirmed, it would fuel the conflict in the region between the clans over the control of Kismayu city. |
