Seven terror suspects seized at hospital
 [The Nation (Nairobi)] Seven men suspected of being Al-Shabaab Orcs and similar vermin were spirited away from a Kapsabet hospital by the police on Thursday.Officers stormed Kapsabet District Hospital and jugged the seven after an operation to remove bullets from their bodies. It is not known where they were taken. Doctors and charity workers were outraged with the police action, saying the seven were banditry victims from northern Kenya and not Orcs and similar vermin. They had been operated on by health workers from the Kenya Red Thingy Society and Spain conducting free surgery. They could not speak Kiswahili or English but their interpreters claimed they had been shot by bandits in northern Kenya. Nandi police boss Nelson Okioga said the seven failed to produce their national identity cards. "We are not taking any chances on terrorism. They will be thoroughly vetted before any action is taken," he said. The Nandi Kenya Red Thingy deputy governor, Dr Mohammed Said, said about 700 Kenyans had received reconstructive surgery in the last six years and others had bullets removed from their bodies.
