July 6 (Bloomberg) -- The leader of Somalia’s Islamist al- Shabaab movement gave the government five days to surrender and hand over its weapons or face prosecution by Shariah courts.

The rebel group, which the U.S. accuses of having ties to al-Qaeda, is fighting to oust Somali President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed who came to power in January and has called for peace talks between the countries Islamist factions.

“I call on the apostate government soldiers who are in the frontline of battle to surrender to the Islamists and to hand over all their weapons,” Sheikh Muktar Abu-Subeyr, the highest ranking officer of al-Shabaab, said in an audio recording distributed to reporters in the capital, Mogadishu, yesterday.
