SOMALI security forces have arrested veteran Islamist leader Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys.
The former Somali army colonel was detained after he flew in to Mogadishu for talks with government officials.
"There was a big argument that turned into a fist fight between the security forces who arrested Sheik Aweys and members of the delegation accompanying him who resisted the arrest," a senior police officer told AFP of the arrest on Saturday.
Yusuf Mohamed Siyad, a member of the same Ayr sub-clan as Aweys who arrived in Mogadishu with him, confirmed the arrest at the capital's airport.
However, the reason for his detention was not immediately clear.
Aweys, a hero of Somalia's 1977-78 war with Ethiopia, is on both US and UN Security Council terrorism sanctions lists, but no bounty has been placed on his head.
Now in his late 70s, Aweys was a top leader of the Islamic Courts Union, a radical group that ruled Somalia in 2006 before being overthrown by Ethiopian troops who stormed Somalia in a US-backed invasion.
