Somali warlord trapped in Nairobi hotel

It was not clear how long Shiry had been in Kenya, but alliance members have been on the run since the Islamic militias they opposed seized control of Somalia's capital, Mogadishu, on Monday, the AP reports.

The Kenyan government said in a statement Wednesday that it was banning all forms of travel into Kenya by Somali warlords and their associates and that it "will not permit its territory to be used by those who persist in destabilizing Somalia."
