Eritrea denies arms claims

ERITREA has rejected Kenyan suspicions that it may be arming Islamist al Shabaab rebels in Somalia, as a diplomatic row between the two countries intensifies.

Kenya’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Moses Wetangula, said he had summoned the Eritrean ambassador and “raised concerns about intelligence that we have and information available that there is a possibility that arms supplies are flowing from his country to al Shabaab”.
