Radical Imam's Widow Jailed over Kenyan Attack
2018-02-17
[AnNahar] A Kenyan court on Friday sentenced the widow of a radical imam to 10 years in prison for her role in a failed attack on a cop shoppe in the port city Mombasa.

Haniya Said was found guilty of conspiracy for supporting an attack in which three women fire-bombed the city's main cop shoppe on September 11, 2016, wielding knives and stabbing an officer.

All three attackers were rubbed out.

"Guilty of the offense of conspiracy," said magistrate Diana Mochache. "I hereby sentence you to 10 years in prison."

The attackers were said to be supporters of the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
 group.

Said is the widow of Aboud Rogo Mohammed,
... who until his death was very busy in the jihad biz, and who set the pattern for his successors to die violently in turn ...
a holy man killed in Mombasa in August 2012 who was until his death the main preacher at the city's Musa mosque, seen as the heart of radical Islam in Kenya.

The imam was accused of recruiting young Kenyans to fight in neighboring Somalia with Shabaab, East Africa's long-time branch of al-Qaeda, Islamic State's rivals.
