04:55 ET<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nSix foreigners have been arrested as they flew into Mogadishu with $3.6m (\u00a32.2m) in cash, Somali police say.<\/p>\n
Three US citizens, two Kenyans and one Briton were detained in the capital, along with two aircraft, a spokesman told the BBC Somali service.<\/p>\n
The spokesman said investigations were ongoing and did not give more details.<\/p>\n
Somalia has not had a strong, national government for more than 20 years and money-laundering, piracy and militants groups have thrived.<\/p>\n
The UN-backed government is battling the al-Qaeda linked group al-Shabab in Mogadishu.<\/p>\n
Al-Shabab and other militant groups control much of southern and central Somalia.<\/p>\n
UN Security Council envoys are due to meet leaders of various Somali leaders in neighbouring Kenya later to discuss the country’s future.<\/p>\n
Donor countries are dismayed at the power-struggle between Somalia’s President Sharif Sheikh Ahmed and speaker of parliament Hassan Sheikh Adam.<\/p>\n
President Ahmed’s term of office is due to expire in August.<\/p>\n
He wants to extend it, while the speaker says MPs should hold elections for a new president.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
