Alarm as German linked to terror enters Kenya

Police are on high alert after a German suspected to be involved in terrorism entered Kenya.

His whereabouts in the country are unknown and authorities are alarmed because he wrote a will before leaving Germany for Kenya, indicating that he was headed for Somalia and would not return alive.

Police headquarters has sent out the alert to all police stations across the country. It also ordered station commanders to ensure the man was arrested on sight.

The man left Frankfurt and landed at the Moi International Airport, Mombasa, on September 22.

Never return alive

Part of the police report reads: “He is on transit to Somalia. He left a declaration will to his mother that he will never return alive.”

Kenyan police suspect the man was referring to suicide bombing and are worried because he did not specify his targets.

Police said the German Government sent a report on the man through its embassy in Nairobi. It describes the suspect as Caucasian, slim, 175 centimetres tall and with brown hair.

It goes on to say his eyes are blue, he wears size 43 shoes and weighs 68 kilogrammes.

Police have in vain been looking for him since he entered Kenya.
