 MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) - A leader of the Islamic militia controlling most of southern Somalia said Monday he will produce "corpses or POWs" to prove that neighboring Ethiopia has sent soldiers across the border to protect Somalia's weak government.
Ethiopian and Somali government officials have not confirmed that Ethiopian troops have entered Somalia, despite widespread witness accounts that the soldiers arrived four days ago.
"The Ethiopians have denied the occupation in our land, but we shall show the world corpses or POWs from their ranks," Sheik Muqtar Robow, deputy defense chief for the Islamic group, said during an anti-Ethiopia rally that drew 5,000 people in the capital, Mogadishu.
