Suspected terrorists sent back to Belgium
2014-03-15
A Belgian and a French
'Pierre' and 'Jaques'?
were yesterday repatriated to Belgium to answer charges of terrorism.
You're doing it wrong, folks: they're only supposed to make it part of the way back...
Mohamed Said alias Ben Abdellah Smail (Belgian) and Rachid Benomari (French) were repatriated by Principal Magistrate Joseph Karanja after they appeared before him at Milimani courts, Nairobi. The two together with another third one, Bouyahbaren Mustapha, who was not produced in court were found in Kenya illegally after entering the country from Somalia without any valid documents. They were arrested in Malindi.

The two admitted being in the country illegally before a Mombasa court and were imprisoned to one year. Two other Kenyans, Hussein Omar and Ahmed Omar, who were hosting the three denied terrorism charges.

In a letter produced in court written to the Director of Public Prosecutions, Keriako Tobiko, Anti-Terrorism Police Unit boss Njeru Mwaniki said the three who were arrested on July 4, 2013 confessed that they were in the country illegally. He said during interrogation, they were found to be illegally present in Kenya and confessed to have come from Somalia.
