 JOWHAR, Somalia (AP) - The leader of the Islamic militia that seized Somalia's capital said Saturday that 300 Ethiopian soldiers had entered the country to help his rivals, but he promised not to attack the weak government that represented his only challenge.
An Ethiopian official denied Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed's claims, but said his government had massed troops along the border and was monitoring the Islamic militants' advance across the country.
Ahmed said the Ethiopian troops entered the country Saturday morning through the southwestern border town of Dolow.
