MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) - Islamic militiamen were moving on an Ethiopian border town to try to seal the 1,000-mile frontier and keep out any advancing Ethiopian troops while trapping those already in Somalia, an Islamic movement official said Monday.
"Our fighters, with a large number of battle wagons, are now advancing on Tiyeglow," said Mohamed Ibrahim Bilaal, an Islamic movement official.
"We will go to all border towns in our country to deprive our enemy of a route to enter into our country. Also we don't want the enemy inside Somalia to get an exit route to flee from it when the jihad starts," Bilaal told The Associated Press by telephone.
