Militiamen Close In on Key Somali City
Neighboring Ethiopia Threatens to Invade to Defend Baidoa-Based
Interim Government

MOGADISHU, Somalia, July 19 -- The Islamic militiamen who control most
of southern Somalia deployed hundreds of fighters Wednesday outside
the city where the U.N.-backed interim government is based and said
they planned to seize it.

Capturing Baidoa would make the Islamic militia the uncontested
authority over most of the country.

Neighboring Ethiopia said it was prepared to invade Somalia to defend
the interim government.
