Somali Islamic fighters have accused the French government of sending new spies to the capital city of Mogadishu, threatening to kill them.
Sheikh Muhammad Ibrahim Bilal, the chairman of the Islamic Council of Amal, told Press TV correspondent on Sunday that the rebels were ready to kill the new 'so-called military advisers.'

Earlier on Friday, French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner announced that Paris would send new advisers to Mogadishu although one French security agent remains in the hands of kidnappers.
Earlier this week, one of two French security advisers escaped from his Somali kidnappers.
The agent, Marc Aubriere, escaped Tuesday night after he and his colleague were kidnapped from their hotel room in Mogadishu on July 14. The other agent is still in custody.
Bilal also urged France's President Nicholas Sarkozy to stop meddling in domestic affairs of Somalia.
