| 2006-03-30 |
| Kenyan police were on red alert Tuesday after two people were arrested in the capital with 25 kilograms (55 pounds) of ammonium nitrate and a variety of bomb detonators and fuses, a top police official said. The two Kenyans were arrested in the eastern part of Nairobi with the ammonium nitrate, which can be used to make bombs, and 500 long-range bomb detonators, 150 detonation short-range detonators, 45 pieces of connectors and 52 rolls of detonating material for both and long- and short-range bomb detonators, Criminal Investigations Department Director Joseph Kamau told the privately owned Capital FM radio station. Kamau said that investigators suspect sabotage and conspiracy with suspects from other countries that he did not identify, the station reported. Kenya's entire security system is on red alert, Kamau told the station. Kamau did not give any other details. |
