They tried to kill me five times, Somali president cries out
Somalia's President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has said he is a prime target of the Islamist group al-Shabab, which is affiliated to al-Qaeda.
In an interview with the BBC, he said the militants had tried to assassinate him five times in the last two years, most recently in March. He insists the group has been weakened.
President Mohamud also dismissed fears of clashes between Egyptian and Ethiopian peacekeepers in Somalia, saying his country would not be a battlefield for regional disputes.
