NAIROBI, June 10 (Reuters) - A hardline Islamist leader rejected on Tuesday a peace agreement brokered by the United Nations in Djibouti between the Somali government and some opposition figures.

"We don't see that as a peace deal, we see it as a trap," Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys told Reuters by phone from Eritrea. "We encourage the insurgents and the Somali people not to be tired of combating the enemy."
