A Somali national posing as a Kenyan has been arrested alongside a Kenyan accomplice on suspicion of being Al Shabaab terrorists.
The 29-year-old was arrested in Mandera after sneaking into the country from El-Ade, Somalia, and forging documents to identify as a Kenyan.
According to a report by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), the suspect was working with a Kenyan associate to carry out a cross-border kidnapping.
The two had reportedly conspired to abduct foreigners working at a sewer line construction site in Mandera before their plan was intercepted following a tip-off to the authorities.
