Mogadishu 03, Nov.06 ( Sh.M.Network) Responding to US State Department spokesperson Sean McCormackÂ’s warning that SomaliaÂ’s Islamists may prefer to suicide attacks in their war against Ethiopia, the Union of Islamic Courts information secretary Abdirahman Ali Mudey has accused the US government itself of intending to foment suicide missions in Addis Ababa and Nairobi and put the blame on the Islamic Courts.

A press conference held in Mogadishu on Friday, senior Islamic Courts information secretary said Ethiopia and America have predicted deadly suicide bombings they are going execute in some of Horn of African cities, warning Ethiopia and Kenya to stop their military movement in and around their borders with Somalia.

The Islamic Courts had condemned Ethiopian for deploying thousands of its troops in Somalia while Ethiopia only admitted it has hundreds of troops in Somalia to protect the weak government based in Baidoa, southern Somalia against the IslamistsÂ’ probable attacks.

The CourtsÂ’ reaction came following US warning its citizens in East Africa to be cautious as Somalia Islamists might use car bombings or suicide bombings to disrupt Western interests in East Africa.

The peace talks between the Somali government and the Islamic Courts in the Sudanese capital Khartoum ended in failure on Wednesday after both parties could not compromise on their separate conditions.

Somalia has had no functioning government since 1991 when tribal warlords toppled former president Siad Barre.

Mudey has also told Somali musicians and poets to recite songs and poems without music to encourage the civilian population to participate in the jihad or holy war against Ethiopia.

“Ethiopia and Kenya are convincing America to be involved in Somalia militarily and America is using Ethiopia and Kenya to justify its (America) desire of military intervention in Somalia”, said Mudey.

The Courts information secretary vowed they would attack Ethiopian troops wherever they are in the country.

Somali Islamists reject U.S. warning, test rockets

MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Somali Islamists on Friday dismissed a U.S. warning that "extremist elements" were plotting suicide attacks in neighbouring countries, as Islamist fighters test-fired missiles and prepared for war with the government.

"We have no plans to attack Kenya and Ethiopia, neither are we known to blow ourselves up. Suicide bombing is not a Somali culture," Sheikh Yusuf Mohamed Siad, the Islamists' defence chief, told Reuters.

"We are telling the American population we are not a threat to them. They should remove the administration of Bush, which resembles the Nazi government of Hitler in so many ways."

Tensions in Somalia have mounted rapidly recently and rose another notch after diplomats this week failed to bring together the Islamists, who control the capital and large parts of southern Somalia, and the weak, Western-backed interim government for peace talks in Sudan.

Islamist fighters are in a standoff with government troops just 30 km (19 miles) from the administration's sole outpost, Baidoa town. The Islamists say they are also facing thousands of Ethiopian troops who had invaded to prop up government forces.

"The onus is on us to start the fight. We will be the first to strike," one senior Islamist commander, Maalim Hashi Ahmed, told Reuters by telephone.

"If someone takes your shirt, it's upon you to repossess it. That is what we plan to do," he said. "Ethiopia has invaded us so it is our responsibility to remove them from our land. We intend to carry out this obligation as soon as possible."

Residents of Buur Hakaba, a strategic hill town near the frontlines, said hundreds more Islamist fighters were deployed overnight, and fired heavy weapons early on Friday.

"The Islamic troops tested missiles this morning," one local, Yusuf Hassan, told Reuters. "It was really terrifying."

SUICIDE ATTACKS

Washington accuses the Islamists of harbouring al Qaeda militants and has asked for them to be handed over. On Thursday the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Ethiopia issued warnings for American citizens to be on guard for possible suicide attacks.

"These threats specifically mention the execution of suicide explosions in prominent landmarks within Kenya and Ethiopia," the embassies said in a statement on Thursday.

It said the message was issued in response to reports of "terrorist threats emanating from extremist elements within Somalia" and urged American citizens to be vigilant and use extreme caution when going to well-known public places.

The U.S. warning came amid growing fears of a regional war.

U.S. State Department spokesman Sean McCormack called on all sides involved in Somalia not to escalate tensions. Ethiopia's enemy Eritrea has been accused of arming the Islamists.

"There are concerns that the situation, the current situation in Somalia, might lend itself to wider violence in the region. And we're doing everything we can to see that that does not happen," McCormack said.

But confrontation appeared increasingly likely in Somalia, where one Baidoa resident said hundreds more Ethiopian troops were seen heading for the frontlines by truck.

"The Ethiopians are waiting for the Islamists to make a move," he said. "If fighting starts, we will definitely suffer."
