STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Somali officials urged Sweden on Tuesday to free a Somali police chief arrested on suspicion of war crimes while attending an aid conference, saying justice would have to wait in a country where "nobody is innocent".

"The Somali people killed each other from government to government, clan to clan, sub-clan to sub-clan, family to family and nobody is actually innocent," said Minister of State for Parliament and Government Relations Abdurahman Adan Ibrahim.
