The Militia leader in charge of the political division of the RRA, Abdullahi Adan Ahmed, best known as Abdullahi Black, on Wednesday angrily retorted to the allegations that the Mombasa attackers might be hiding in Baidoa town. Abdullahi Black has adamantly denied such claims and that no one with the name of Salah Ali Salah Nabhan can be found in Baidoa.

"In the situation we are found now, the Rahanwein people themselves can hardly live in Baidoa town, let alone foreigners," said Abdullahi Balack .

"However," he said, "so as to satisfy the international community as a whole and the Kenyan police in particular we are inviting them to come to Baidoa to carry out their investigations, " said Abdullahi Black, adding "we are pledging every possible assistance to the United States, Israel and the international committee fighting against the international terrorism to come to Baidoa to investigate and we pledge full support and collaboration, " he said.
