Kenya transfers Islamists to Somalia government

2007-01-21

(SomaliNet) The Kenyan government Saturday has extradited dozens of Islamist prisons to the transitional federal government in Somalia it was a response to early TFG demand that all Islamists held in Kenya be transported to Somalia. Reports say that Kenyan airplane carrying around 40 Islamists has landed at the main Mogadishu airport on Saturday where they were handed over to the Ethiopia-Somalia forces in the capital.

"We certainly don't want 'em! They're yours!"

Abdirahman Dinari, the government spokesman confirmed the news of handing over the members of ousted Islamic Courts Union to the government later Saturday. They were about 30 Islamist prisons including key officers who were brought in Mogadishu and extradited to the security forces, Dinari told the local media. He declined to give details about the exiled Islamists saying the government will soon release a report about their exact number, ranks and names.

"I can say no more!"

Some reports say that all the extradited Islamists were in handcuffs and masked when they were being taking off the plane.

Gitmo style! Where's Amnesia International?

It is not known yet where they were taken and being held but it is confirmed that they are in Mogadishu.

#3 Make 'em swim back, accompanied by a Kenyan navy patrol boat. Somali waters are teeming with very hungry sharks, including hammerheads, black-tip, an occasional Great White, and about 40 other species. Maybe some of 'em will even make it...

There were none. Zero, zilch, nada, nothing. There were none. If you think that there were any, then you were wrong and we don't know what happenened to them. There were none. We know nothing.
