The Somali president said on Saturday that Al Qaida should stop interfering in the affairs of his war-ravaged country. President Shaikh Sharif Shaikh Ahmad spoke following last week's publication of a tape by Osama Bin Laden in which Bin Laden called him an "infidel" and urged Somalis to overthrow his new government. | "I do declare, he's stopped a'preachin and gone to meddlin'!" | Ahmed said Al Qaida "has never helped Somalis reach a peaceful solution and has never wanted Somalis to have a government." He said Al Qaida should leave Somalis alone.
