Authorities in the breakaway Somali republic of Somaliland have arrested a man for poisoning dozens of guests at his younger brother's wedding. Ambe Abdillahi Omer, 39, apparently poisoned sweets he handed out at Saturday's celebration near the Ethiopian border, and also put poison in water jugs and on eating utensils.
The local chairman of Faraweine, Hassan Mohamed Abdirahman, said one of Omer's brothers and a sister had died. Omer's mother and four other people were seriously ill in hospital.
