Iran Terrorists Sneak Into Kenya to Plan Jail Break

A group of Iranian terrorists are alleged to have sneaked into East Africa to try and free terrorism convicts jailed in Kenya.

Kenyan security forces are said to be on high alert after learning of the plot to free two convicts who were arrested in Nairobi with explosive substances in 2012. 

Ahmad Mohammed and Sayed Mousavi were charged and convicted in Kenya and now security forces have enhanced surveillance of Iranian nationals.

The two had filed an appeal at the apex court against their 15-year sentence for planning terror attacks in the country.

They had told the court they are innocent and claimed to have come into the country as tourists and looking for possible commercial ventures. 

According to a report by The Star, intelligence shared with Kenyan authorities claim the operatives are suspected to be members of the Quds Force.

Quds Force militants spread Iran’s negative influences far and wide, and have been responsible for numerous terrorist attacks and attempted attacks globally.

They are highly trained and very secretive and security agencies stated their activities remained a threat to Kenya.

Kenya has been working closely with international anti-terror agencies in an attempt to dismantle terrorist cells in the country.

Major terror attacks such as Westgate on September 21, 2013, and Garissa University on April 2, 2015, which happened in Kenya had a negative socio-economic impact on the country.
