#1 More info, it was Ali's house: Kenya said it had recovered five light anti-tank weapons and six AK 47 rifles each with 30 bullets during a Monday raid on the house of a man accused of links to al Qaeda who killed himself in a grenade blast this month. Feisal Ali detonated a hand grenade on August 1 in the coastal city of Mombasa, killing himself and a police officer while resisting arrest over the bombing of an Israeli-owned hotel near the city last November.Police sources believe Ali, a 20-year-old Kenyan of Yemeni descent, used the house to plot attacks with other accomplices, thought to be foreign nationals. They have been hunting an accomplice who escaped after the blast that killed Ali, but it was not immediately clear why the house was searched Monday, more than a week after his death.
