The Minister of Security of the South West State Administration, Osman Isaaq Mohamed, has demanded that Kenya arrest the former leader of the administration, Abdiasis Hassan Mohamed Lafta-gareen, and hand him over to the Interpol criminal investigation agency in order to hand him over to the presidency of Somalia.<\/p>\n

The Minister said that these members could facilitate holding Lafta-gareen accountable, describing him as responsible for recent bomb attacks in the city of Baidoa.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are requesting Kenya to arrest Abdiasis Lafta-gareen, then through Interpol to bring him to justice in Somalia and hold him accountable,\u201d the Minister of Security of the South West State said.<\/p>\n

The Minister also said that he has links with Al-Shabaab, saying that the forces are maintaining security in Baidoa.<\/p>\n

He added that if Lafta-gareen surrenders, he will be treated like Al-Shabaab members who defect from the group and surrender to the South West State administration.<\/p>\n

\u201cInitially, we had our brothers infected, but now we have seen brothers who are linked to Al-Shabaab. If they surrender, the procedures for those who defect from Al-Shabaab will be followed,\u201d the minister said.<\/p>\n

The statement by the South West Security Minister comes at a time of tension and revelations between the South West administration and the previous explanation as Lafta-gareen.<\/p>\n
