MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Hardline Islamist opposition leader Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys has returned to Somalia in his first known trip to the Horn of Africa nation since being ousted two years ago, an Islamist group said on Thursday.

"(Aweys) will be staying with us, and we shall be having discussions on the current political situation in Somalia," said Omar Abubukar, leader of Hizbul Islam. Aweys landed at a small airstrip 50 kms from the capital Mogadishu.
