Al-Jazeera (WTF???): Mystery aircraft lands in Mogadishu
A cargo aeroplane said to be loaded with weapons has landed in Mogadishu from Eritrea in violation of a United Nations arms embargo.
Somalia's transitional government said the aircraft that landed on Wednesday was carrying land mines, bombs and guns from Eritrea for the Islamic militia that has taken control of the capital and much of the south of the country.
The aircraft was reportedly met by two senior Islamic commanders and another member of the Supreme Islamic Council of Somalia (SICS).
Fighters chased journalists from the heavily guarded facility where the aircraft landed.
The aircraft's tail carried a flag from Kazakhstan, a former Soviet republic that often makes its fleet available for charter.
