London bombing suspects on Kenyan passports: report
www.chinaview.cn 2005-07-27 17:08:58

    NAIROBI, July 27 (Xinhuanet) -- Scotland Yard has announced that two of the suspected bombers in last week's attack on London transport network traveled to Britain on Kenyan passports and British anti-terror officers might fly to Nairobi this week as the search widens, a local leading newspaper reported Wednesday.

    The two suspects, originally from Somalia, lived in Kenya and acquired Kenyan passports before traveling to London to seek political asylum, London police sources were quoted as saying by the Daily Nation newspaper.

    The two were now on the run and might have fled to Holland, where there is a big Somali community, the sources said.

    The east African community leaders in London had been asked to help police in the hunt of the suspects, and anti-terror police in London say they believe there is an active al-Qaeda cell in Kenya and want to question people believed to be connected with it, according to the report.

    Kenyan government spokesman Alfred Mutua said the British government had not officially informed Kenya of the possible link, adding that Kenya collaborated with the British security agencies and would be willing to help in the investigations.

    However, Kenya would not allow the British agencies to interrogate Kenyans. Instead, Kenyans would conduct the interrogations and relay the results to their British counterparts,said the spokesman. Enditem
