Suspect charged in Mombasa over terror links | Capital News
A suspect has been charged in a Mombasa court for allegedly planning to carry out terror attacks in the country.
Swaleh Abdalla was arraigned before Mombasa Senior Resident Magistrate Richard Odenyo but denied being in possession of a hand grenade and planning to carry out terror attacks in Kenya.
“The accused will be remanded at a police station for four days when the court will rule on the hearing of the case,” said Odenyo.
In a sworn affidavit, police requested the court to grant them four days for officers to thoroughly interrogate the suspect and possibly get leads that may help arrest his accomplices.
Chief prosecutor Simon Waithaka said police are probing Abdalla’s possible links to the Westgate mall attack that claimed 67 lives and left others injured.
