 MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) - The Islamic militia that controls much of southern Somalia said Tuesday it will train students for holy war against foreign peacekeepers, an ominous development amid fears that a Taliban-style regime is emerging in the country.
Last month, seven African countries, known as the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, endorsed a plan to send 3,500 Ugandan and Sudanese troops to Somalia to support the weak government based in Baidoa, a town 150 miles from the capital.
The Islamic militia has pledged to battle the peacekeeping force if it is deployed.
