Eritrea aiding the Somali Islamists?

The Somali government is claiming that it is the Eritreans who are arming the Somali Islamic Courts Union. I'm not sure if the claim is true, but, with Ethiopian troops inside Somalia, it further complicates the situation by adding components of the longstanding and violent Ethiopian/Eritrean war to the Somali conflict. (BBC has certainty on both points.)
