The Kenyan police on Tuesday
said they had arrested a
suspected Nigerian member of
al-Shabab and six of his Kenyan
colleagues.
Coast Province police chief, Leo
Nyongesa, told the Associated
Press that the Nigerian suspect
was travelling on a British
passport when he was arrested
along with the Kenyan teenagers
on Kizingitini Island near Somalia.
Nyongesa said the police
arrested the group on Sunday
after they were tipped off by an
informant that the suspects had
been recruited by the al-Shabab
militia, Somalia ’s most dangerous
insurgent group.
The group claimed responsibility
for twin bombings in Uganda in
July that killed 76 people and has
also successfully recruited many
Somali-Americans from the
United States.
