Islamic Courts leader contacted the Americans

Jendayi Frazer, says Sheikh Sharif, head of the Islamic Courts, contacted her and told her that hard-liners were taking over and she give him a cell phone to call his family. Sheikh Sharif however denies having any contact with the Americans, and says he had enough money to call his family.

I think the truth is somewhere in the middle, I think he had contacted the Americans and that's why he isn't hiding, while his fellow ICU leader Sheikh Aweys is in hiding. But may he should go into hiding, Frazer is asserts that he crossed over to otherside, the hardliner's.
