Kenya to Deport Five Somalis for Terror Links
Kenyan authorities will next week deport five Somali nationals for alleged links to the Al-Qaeda terrorist network. The five are among at least 14 people arrested last month at Eastleigh, a crime-prone residential district in Nairobi, on suspicion of involvement in various terrorism-related activities in the east African nation. âKenyan security agents have obtained a deportation order allowing them to repatriate the foreigners. Armed security agents will escort them to the Kenya-Somali border on Tuesday,â the Daily Nation said. The paper said, quoting a source in the office of the president, that one of the detainees is âsuspected to have links with terrorist cells operating from Somalia.â
| Haven't thought about giving them about 50 years in jug, have you? Or maybe shooting them?... I thought not. |
A senior police officer said that military and intelligence officers âwere this week trying to obtain orders to repatriate some Somalis who were arrested in an anti-terrorism swoop last month, because Kenya does not have anti-terrorism laws that would enable prosecutors to directly charge suspects with extremist activities.â
