 MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) - Kenya handed over 34 Islamic militiamen to Somalia's transitional government, the Somali government spokesman said Sunday, adding that some of them may be senior leaders of the country's Islamic movement.
Kenya flew the militiamen to Somalia under armed guard on Saturday, the same day Somalia's fledgeling government received a boost when the last major warlord turned over his weapons and militia.
Kenyan border patrols arrested the men in the past few weeks after Somalia's western neighbor closed its border, said Abdirahman Dinari, the government spokesman. He said that the government is investigating the identities of the men and will soon make the details public.
