Islamic radicals close down radio station

Somalia's Islamic radicals closed down a second radio station today, just days after introducing strict new laws for the media in the war ravaged country.

Militia raided East Africa Radio in the capital, Mogadishu, saying the station belonging to Bashir Rageh, who was part of a secular alliance of US-backed warlords who were ousted from the capital in June by Islamic fighters after days of bloody fighting.
