 MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) - Uganda's top military officials promised to help train a national army for Somalia and help provide security for its government, a Somali official said Friday.
The Ugandans traveled to Somalia ahead of a planned African Union peacekeeping deployment, a day after Islamic extremists threatened suicide attacks against Ugandan and other foreign troops.
"We expect the troops to be here in two weeks," Hassan Abshir Farah, who represented the Somali government at one meeting, told The Associated Press.
