    Faction leader Hussein Aideed's militia on Monday rejected reports that the alleged Saudi terrorism financier, Osama Bin Laden, is in Somalia. In a statement issued in Nairobi, reported by DPA news agency, it said that if he were to seek refuge there, all efforts would be made to hand him over to the authorities in Kenya, where he is wanted for questioning in connection with last year's US embassy bombing.
