The Kenya Police on Sunday released photos of four suspected terrorists wanted for interrogation.

The four suspects are said to have been trained on terrorism in Somalia.

"Evidence in possession of the police indicates that they have been involved in various acts of terrorism in Nairobi and Mombasa," notes a press statement to the newsroom. "The four are currently believed to be on the run inside Kenya and planning acts of terrorism in Mombasa and Nairobi."

The four suspects include; Hassan Omondi Owiti alias Budalangi alias Budapest alias Omosh and Shaban Namusenda Makotse whom police say is a Luhya and hails from Mumias.

According to police, Shaban has adopted a strong Kiswahili accent to camouflage himself.

Others are Yassin Olunga alias Ndungu and Ali Masadiq. Police say Masadiq is small bodied and can easily pass as a primary school pupil.

Also, Masadiq is mainly used to carry out surveillance on potential terrorism targets and to convey firearms and grenades.
