Swedish police released Somali colonel Abdi Qeybdid on October 20 for lack of proof of the accusations of genocide against him, according to AP. The police had arrested him three days before, after a Somali refugee claiming universal jurisdiction had accused Qeybdid of massacres committed at the port of Kismayo in 1991. The Swedish prosecutor has said he will not appeal. Upon his release, which was jubilantly celebrated in Mogadishu, Qeybdid accused Somali president Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed of conspiring to have him arrested. This may well inflame opposition between the two men's factions.
