Somali government denies police chief's detention
Saudi Press Agency Published in Saudi Press Agency on 19 - 10 - 2005

Confusion reigned as one faction of the divided Somali government denied Wednesday a detained Somali in Sweden is a police chief, while the other held angry demonstrations in Mogadishu. dpa reported
"Qeybid is not a chief of police as stated in media reports and the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia (TFG) is ready to collaborate with the Government of Sweden on this affair," said Salad Ali Jelle, deputy minister of information from President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmeds headquarters in Jowhar, north of Mogadishu.
Linked to the late Mohammed Farah Aideed, Qeybid is suspected of involvement in the 1991 shooting down of two US Black Hawk helicopters and the subsequent killing of 18 American troops by Somali militias.
Angry crowds in Mogadishu meanwhile shouted slogans against Sweden while Hussein Aideed, son of Mohammed Aideed and current minister of Home Affairs, demanded Qeybids immediate release.
