Suspect under investigation after being apprehended at Somali capital's airport
A British man has been arrested in the Somali capital for suspected links to the Islamist rebel group al-Shabaab, the African Union's force and police said.
The suspect was apprehended at the Mogadishu airport before heading to Kismayu, a southern port city held by al-Shabaab, an al-Qaida-aligned group battling Somalia's transitional federal government and the AU's troops.
"A British man linked to al-Shabaab is in our hands," police spokesman Abdullahi Barise said. "He is under investigation."
Paddy Ankunda, a spokesman for the AU's force Amisom, said the suspect had been arrested by an Amisom intelligence official before being handed over to Somali police.
Ankunda identified the suspect as Cleve Everton Dennis and said he had previously travelled to Ethiopia in 2010. "This time, he travelled from the UK via Nairobi to Mogadishu today. He was born in 1966," he added.
The Foreign Office in London said they were aware of reports of the arrest and were looking into them.
