Kabul - Two foreign nationals, a South African and a British, and an Afghan guard were shot dead in the centre of the capital Kabul on Saturday, police said.

Munich - A former foreign minister of Somalia called in an interview published Saturday for foreign navies to crack down on piracy and lock the pirates up.

"They should set up internment camps under extra-territorial jurisdiction," said Abdullahi Sheikh Ismael in an interview with the German news magazine website Focus Online.

He said the camps could be on Somali soil, but the judges would not have to be from Somalia. Navies which caught pirates could decide themselves where to try them.

Ismael, who was speaking in Djibouti, belongs to the legislature of Somalia's interim government and previously held the foreign portfolio.
