| Bombing suspect no longer in Kenya |
| 2010-08-18 |
| [The Nation (Nairobi)] The latest person arrested in connection with the Kampala bombings is no longer in Kenya. The news was received with screams and tears by the mother and wife of the suspect, Mr Mohammed Hamid Suleiman. Mr Suleiman was arrested at his South C house in Nairobi at 10.30pm last Friday and family members said they had not seen him since. His family had gone to court demanding to see him. "It has been more than 24 hours since he was arrested and nobody knows where he is being held," Mr Suleiman's wife, Ms Zuhura Suleiman, said in the court papers. The mother of four said her husband was seized by 10 armed police officers. Commissioner of Police, Mr Mathew Iteere, who was summoned by High Court judge Mr Justice Aggrey Muchelule to explain the arrest, did not appear but was represented by state counsel Edwin Okelo. Mr Okelo told the court that Mr Suleiman was no longer in the country. "He is not within the jurisdiction of the court," said the lawyer. Although the state says Mr Suleiman is no longer in Kenya, Uganda is yet to charge him. So far, three other Kenyans have been charged over the twin bomb blasts which killed at least 76 people at two night clubs where patrons were watching the July 11 Word Cup final. The three, Mr Hussein Hassan Agade, Mr Idris Magondu and Mr Mohammed Aden Addow, face 89 counts of murder, attempted murder and terrorism. Their families have also gone to court to demand their release but their application was filed when they had already been charged. The Anti-Terrorism Police Unit told the court that the suspects were now in the hands of the Ugandan authorities. |

| #2 I'd release his wife and mother's address to the victim's family members. Perhaps they could explain their feelings to the enablers of this evil POS? |
