Fighting between Ethiopia and Eritrea in border town

Fighting has broken out between Eritrea and Ethiopia along the countries' border. Eritrea has blamed Ethiopia for starting the conflict, which broke out on Sunday.

Coletta Wanjohi reports from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.



Fighting has been reported since Sunday in the Tsorona Central Front, south of Eritrea's capital Asmara and close to the border.

Eritrea issued, then removed, a press statement blaming Ethiopia for the fighting. Ethiopia has yet to officially comment. 

Eritrea and Ethiopia routinely accuse each other of backing rebels trying to destabilize and topple the other's government.

Eritrea, which won independence from Ethiopia in 1991, fought a bloody border war with Ethiopia between 1998 and 2000. Tensions between the Horn of Africa nations persist.

FBI: Mateen claimed ties to numerous terror groups

FBI Director James Comey says alleged Florida gunman Omar Mateen was radicalized online, and proclaimed ties to a number of extremist organizations.

Mr Comey says Mateen's motivations for the attack are "confusing", with the shooter claiming inspiration from varied militant groups including the Islamic State, Hezbollah, Al Nusra Front, and Al Qaeda.

The FBI Director also revealed that Mateen had been known to authorities since 2013. During the course of two investigations into whether Mateen was indeed a terrorist, the FBI introduced him to confidential sources, recorded his conversations, followed him, searched his financial records, and interviewed those who knew him... but did not find reason to take action against him.

Mr Comey said the investigation into the Orlando attack will continue- as well as an internal review into whether the FBI should have proceeded differently in his case.
