| A Yemeni man accused of involvement in terror attacks in East Africa has been arrested in Somalia and flown to Kenya. Kenyan National Security Minister Chris Murungaru said the man was suspected of being a member of the al-Qaeda network. Earlier reports from the Somali capital, Mogadishu, said that a wounded man had been handed over to United States FBI agents. Al-Qaeda was blamed for last November's attack on Paradise Hotel near the Kenyan resort of Mombasa, which left 15 people dead. It was also blamed for the 1998 attacks on US embassies in Nairobi and Dar-es-Salaam, in which more than 200 people died. Thanks to Chuck for the headzup! |
