Shockingly as the government detectitives look for answers that will help identify the criminals behind the recent terror attempts in Kenya, they have stumbled into a number of youths misguided into joining the famous terror group of the al-shabab.
It has been revealed that the police acting on intelligence stormed a two bedroom house at around 12 pm on Sunday when they arrested 17 youths hidden in a safe house in Samburu.However the owner of the house fled before the police arrived.
Upon further interrogation, the suspects told police they had been staying in the house for the past one month awaiting further “directions”.
“The youths are from Tana River, Baringo, Rongai in Nakuru, Mombasa and Kilifi, according to their identification cards,” said the police chief.
Two of the suspects told police they had completed Form Four but could not go to university due to lack of fees. Others are Class Seven dropouts.
“We have handed them to the Anti-Terrorism Police Unit,” said the police boss.Mr Kemboi hinted that during the raid, crucial documents that would be helpful in the investigations were found.
