MOGADISHU, Somalia - The Somali Cabinet voted to make Islam the basis of the country's legal system on Tuesday in a bid to undercut an increasingly fractured Islamic insurgency.

Several more moderate insurgent groups had said they would stop fighting the government if Shariah was formally introduced.
