Kenya charges three for helping al-Qaeda leader
The Public Prosecution in Kenya has charged two men and a woman for helping an al-Qaeda leader escape the police. Fazul Abdullah Mohammed is the leader of the East African branch of al-Qaeda. He slipped into Kenya last week from Somalia and stayed in a villa with the three Kenians. The three helped him escape shortly before police tried to arrest him.Mr Mohammed is believed to be behind the bombings of the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania ten years ago in which 240 people were killed and thousands others injured. Fazul Abdullah Mohammed, who comes from the Comoron Islands, has managed to escape arrest ever since, in spite of a five million dollar reward by the United States. Posted by: Fred 2008-08-05 |
