PA Sport – for the IAAF
London, UK – On his way to defending his World Indoor title at 3000m this winter in Valencia, Spain, Kenenisa Bekele plans to attack the World indoor Two Mile best at the Norwich Union Grand Prix – IAAF Indoor permit meet – in Birmingham’s National Indoor Arena on 16 February.
The 25-year-old Ethiopian will hope to better the mark of 8:04.69 set by countryman Haile Gebrselassie at the same venue in 2003.
Bekele, who set a World Indoor 5000 metres record at the Birmingham meeting in 2004 has already gone close to Gebrselassie’s best. The World and Olympic 10,000m champion clocked 8:05.12 in what was a solo effort at the 2006 edition. Bekele also posted an unofficial World 2000m best (4:49.99) at last year’s meeting.
“Obviously I would like to break the world record (best), but this is a tough one,” said Bekele, who will also race over 3000m at the IAAF Indoor permit meeting in Valencia, Spain on Saturday 9 February. “Let’s hope there is lots of early pace which would help me in making it.”
Birmingham will be Bekele’s final test before competing at the 12th IAAF World Indoor Championships which will take place in Valencia, Spain (7 to 9 March).

MOGADISHU, Jan 17 (Reuters) – At least 13 people were killed and 75 wounded in heavy fighting in the Somali capital on Thursday in the latest confrontation between Ethiopian Woyanne troops and Islamist-led insurgents, witnesses said.
Fighting between insurgents and the interim government backed by Ethiopian Woyanne forces broke out in the Somali capital more than a year ago, plunging the city into bloodshed in which more than 6,500 have been killed and 600,000 have fled their homes.
Residents said Ethiopian Woyanne army units based in north Mogadishu had marched to the sprawling Bakara market on Thursday, where insurgents confronted them, prompting fierce gun battles and exchanges of mortar rounds.
“I saw two dead Ethiopian Woyanne soldiers lying in the middle of the road. There were also two Somalis wounded in the crossfire,” witness Abdi Ahmed told Reuters by phone.
The Somali government and Ethiopia Woyanne believe Bakara — the city’s biggest market — is a hotbed of insurgents, and have routinely attacked it while carrying out sweeps for insurgents.
Hassan Abdikafi, a kiosk owner in Bakara, said Ethiopian Woyanne tanks had fired into the crowded market.
“Four dead people are lying inside the market. I can also see nine wounded people. The Ethiopian Woyanne forces have occupied Blacksea area and they are firing their tank guns towards the market,” Abdikafi said.
Mortar rounds killed six people and wounded four, witnesses said. “Two mortar rounds hit two homes next to each other. The first one killed five people from the same family and the other one killed one person, wounding at least four others,” resident Sahra Hashi told Reuters.
Officials at Madina Hospital said one woman died in the operating theatre, and 75 people — including 15 children — had been admitted with serious injuries.
The interim government took over Mogadishu in the last days of 2006 with the help of Ethiopian Woyanne armour and air power, unseating an Islamist movement that had challenged its authority with a six-month reign over most of southern Somalia.
The government has moved back into Mogadishu but has never fully controlled the city and fighting erupts regularly, often when insurgent attacks prompt Ethiopian Woyanne and Somali troops to assault neighbourhoods regarded as pro-Islamist.

LONDON (Reuters) – Haile Gebrselassie has a one million dollar incentive to lower his own world record in Dubai on Friday in his final marathon before the Beijing Olympics.
A world record total prize money pool of $1,000,000 is at stake for the men’s and women’s races with a first-place prize of $250,000.
If Gebrselassie breaks the mark of two hours 4 minutes 26 seconds he set in Berlin last year he will get a one million dollar bonus.
Although his manager Jos Hermens is on record as saying he believes the 34-year-old Ethiopian can run under 2:04 the athlete himself was a little more cautious in a phone interview from Addis Ababa before flying to Dubai.
“Yes, I did 2.04 in Berlin,” Gebrselassie said. “But everything was perfect, the weather, the course, the pacemaking. Sure, it’s possible to do under 2.04, but everything has to be perfect again.
“Training is okay, everything is okay, I have to be in good shape, but shape is not enough. The day of the race is also important.
On Wednesday Hermens told reporters Gebrselassie would aim to run 62:15 for the first half of the race, 14 seconds faster than in Berlin.
“The most important thing is that he feels good at 30 kms, when the pacemakers drop out, and he has to do it himself,” Hermens said.
World records for the double Olympic and four-times world 10,000 metres champion have become routine. His mark in Berlin was the 24th of his career.
Temperatures at the 7am start time are predicted to be around 13-15 degrees Celsius, the same as in Berlin last September and race director Peter Connerton said the course was “probably the flattest in the world”.
Gebrselassie will be paced by former world half-marathon champion Fabiano Joseph of Tanzania.
(AFP) ADDIS ABABA – The Woyanne regime of Ethiopia has signed an oil exploration deal with the British firm White Nile for a 29,500 square kilometre block in the south of the country, the government announced.
“The Ministry of Mines and Energy has signed here on Tuesday an agreement with White Nile Limited, an England-based Petroleum Company that would enable (it to) later explore and develop petroleum in South Ethiopia Peoples’ State,” a statement said.
“The Southern Ethiopian rift basins in the Omo and Chew Bahir areas were considered to be some of the petroleum potential areas in Ethiopia,” the statement added.
In recent years, Ethiopia has signed 12 different exploration deals with foreign companies for blocks along the border with Sudan, in the troubled southern Ogaden region and in the northern Nile Basin region.
White Nile, which was founded by former cricketer Phil Edmonds and also operates in northern Kenya and southern Sudan, confirmed that a production sharing agreement was signed with Ethiopia.
“The agreement in Ethiopia is part of White Nile’s strategy of building a regional oil company, which I believe we have the ability to achieve,” he said in a statement.
“The geology seems to connect Uganda, Ethiopia and southern Sudan so our land positions are in ideal locations to take advantage of this situation,” he added.
