MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) - Militias of Islamic courts on Tuesday began pulling down stalls suspected of selling wine, marijuana and other drugs in Somalia's capital, a militia leader and an Islamic court official said.
Witnesses said the militiamen also confiscated equipment from two video halls during their effort to enforce sharia — or Islamic law.
Six people have been arrested accused of dealing in wine, marijuana and other drugs prohibited under sharia, and militiamen allegedly found an unspecified quantity of drugs inside the demolished iron sheet stalls, said Mohamed Duale Hashi, a commander of the Islamic courts' militias in Mogadishu.
