Islamic Militia Seizes Somalia's Capital

Mogadishu, Somalia (AHN) - After weeks of fighting, Islamic fundamentalists with alleged links to al-Qaida seized Somalia's capital Monday.

The move has unified the city for the first time in more than a decade and after 15 years of anarchy, posing a challenge to a U.N.-backed Somali government.

Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed, chairman of the Islamic Courts Union, said in a radio broadcast, "We won the fight against the enemy of Islam. Mogadishu is under control of its people."

The Islamic militia is the first group to exercise control over all of Mogadishu's neighborhoods since the last government collapsed in 1991 and warlords took over.
