Ethiopian soldiers who have helped to instal Somalia's transitional government have also been accused of a series of assaults on civilians. Troops have stopped buses outside Mogadishu and roughed-up travellers in an attempt to hunt down anyone who supported or fought for the Islamic Courts Union, according to United Nations officials.
A UN report says they are also believed to have killed several ethnic Somalis from Ethiopia's disputed Oromo region, who had gone to Somalia to take up arms with the Islamists.
Five men in Ethiopian army uniforms also allegedly raped a woman near the Kenyan border, Western aid workers said. "This is not the only incident. We are receiving many of these reports," said one. "War is not an excuse for these actions, nor is victory."
No foreign Jihadist so far ..
Meles Zenawi, Ethiopia's prime minister, whose forces ousted Somalia's Islamic Courts Union from power over New Year, said on Tuesday that the Britons were part of an "international brigade" of hard-core foreign jihadis targeted in Monday's US air raid in southern Somalia.
Ethiopian troops occupying the area later claimed to be holding seven British passport-holders injured in the strike. The captured men were said to be Somalis resident in Britain who had returned to fight for the Islamic Courts. However, despite five days of urgent requests for further details, London has yet to be given names or passport numbers to check against Home Office and anti-terrorist- databases.
A final Foreign Office put-up-or-shut-up request on Friday had come to nothing by yesterday afternoon. It is understood that British officials, deeply anxious at the prospect of a Somali terror cell with links to Britain, also made their own inquiries via the High Commission in neighbouring Kenya and MI6, but have yet found nothing to support the claims.
The Ethiopian government's failure to provide evidence will heighten suspicions that Mr Zenawi may have talked up the possibility of foreign jihadists to help justify the invasion. Ethiopia is an historical enemy of Somalia.
