| Kenya bomb suspects beat it |
| 2003-03-29 |
| Two men suspected of involvement in November's suicide bombing of an Israeli-owned hotel in Kenya have "escaped" from police custody. The escape took place about two weeks ago but has only just been revealed. The men were on their way to Mombasa airport to be transferred to Nairobi, the nation's capital, for further interrogation. Kenyan newspapers reported that several Kenyan police officers had been detained in connection with the escape. One of the officers held was so badly treated in custody that he needed hospital treatment. That sounds about right... National security chief Chris Murungaru announced the detention of the policemen at a news conference this week, but only said they were in custody for their apparent failure to properly execute their duties. Now, was the $20 that Arab slipped you really worth it, awfulcir? |
