Please see below a report received regarding Police investigations into the explosion in Nairobi on 11JUN07. Please note the reference to airlines in the second last paragraph.
“Police intensified their search beyond the city centre and concentrated on routes to Wilson Airport and Jomo Kenyatta Airport.
They were able to arrest one male person of Somali Origin, his full name is Mohammed Ali, according to an alien card he held at the time of the arrest as he headed to Jomo Kenyatta airport aboard a City Hoppa bus that got filled up and left the stage minutes before the explosion that rocked the City yesterday.
Mr. Mohammed has a shop at Eastleigh where he conducts cloth making business and several sewing machines were found at the place he claimed to be his business premises.
He was arrested at the Airport Minutes after alighting from the City Hoppa Bus because of first failing to prove to the Police what he was going to do at the Airport, since he had no travel documents and he had nobody arriving in the morning whom he was to meet at the time.
The Police later conducted a search at his place and established that he has been living in Easteligh Section three at different Lodgings, a fact confirmed by the workers of the Hotel he alleged to have been frequenting.
He was accompanied by an accomplice namely Abdi Shakur who is Kenyan born, but, has roots in Somalia and he is said to be the one who had the Explosives by the time it exploded and he escaped the Police dragnet. Also held by the Police is the Taxi driver who ferried the two men from Eastleigh to Town - he is by the name of Mwangi Karongo.
According to Mr Mohammed, Mr. Shakur couldn’t board the Bus because it got full and he couldn't get space, a fact confirmed by the conductor of City Hoppa after being interviewed. It was also found that on several occasions Mr.Shakur has travelled to Somalia as per his Kenyan passport endorsements.
According to Mr. Mohammed, Mr. Shakur lives in Eastleigh Section Four a fact Police were trying to establish by yesterday since Mr. Mohamed couldn't identify where exactly his accomplice stays.
Police believe that person who was killed at the scene of explosive may not be among the persons who had the explosives.
According to Mr. Mohammed they wanted to go and try and detonate their explosives aboard the Somali Aircraft (African air or Daallo airlines), though the police are trying to piece together how Mr Mohammed would have boarded the aircraft without a passport though Mr. Shakur had a Kenyan Passport.
The Islamic literature scattered at the scene were all about standing up against infidels and the other materials were extracts from the Holy Quran in praise of Prophet Mohammed."

Hi Chris, Are you still following up ths story or it is now in the archives?
ReplyDeleteAfter the Rwandese were released without charge (no public apology!), I see the two Kenyan muslim ladies have also been released without charge (again without public apology from the police spokesman!).
One or two people are still in custody and interestingly the alleged bomber's face re-constructed by police asking the public to come forward with information. Do you think it will work? Especially with no monetary reward offered? What's going on?
