Bishop Bertin Says Somali Insurgents Continue to Refuse Government

(11 March 09-RV) A remote-controlled roadside bomb in Mogadishu today killed a senior Somali security official and three government soldiers. Yesterday, the Somali Cabinet voted to make Islam the basis of the country's legal system in a bid to undercut an increasingly fractured Islamic insurgency. But the Apostolic Administrator for Mogadishu, Giorgio Bertin, told Kelsea Brennan-Wessels that the extreme groups will never recognize the legitimacy of the government.
