Speaking to The Standard On Sunday from his hideout in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, Somalia’s immediate former Director-General of the National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA), Ahmed Moallim Fiqi revealed that the two top presidential contenders were to be assassinated in massive bomb blast attacks.
Details of the planned executions are contained in documents and files accessed from a computer laptop, owned by al-Shabaab leader, Fazul Muhammed, who was gunned down in June 2011 by the military wing of Fiqi’s NISA.
Fazul was one of the most sought-after key masterminds of the twin blasts of the American embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam on August 7, 1998.
The revelations by the Somalia crime buster come exactly 15 years since the terror blasts that left 212 people dead in Kenya and 12 in neighbouring Tanzania.
According to Fiqi, who led the operation that intercepted and gunned down Fazul, his NISA troupes found in possession of the killer terrorist a laptop, external electronic hand gadgets, flash disks, a host of texts and other Arabic literature — all of which had crucial information on al Shabaab’s activities.
