Somaliland captured a Puntland parliamentarian leading attacks, Abdiqani Mohamoud Ateeye has said.
Ateeye spoke in his capacity as the Minister of Defense.
He added that the charges Somaliland has levied against Somalia are not whimsical as many in Mogadishu and Puntland claim.
“The evidence in our hands shows that the Puntland administration has been leading the coalition of militias fighting in Las Anod,” Ateeye added.
He mentioned a Member of Parliament (MP) known as Farah as one of the main suspects.
Las Anod has known nothing but violent clashes over the past few weeks.
Tens of people have lost their lives, hundreds more injured, and thousands displaced from their homes in the clash-ridden city.
