Two terror suspects seized in Garissa, four weapons recovered‏

Two people suspected of involvement in terror activities along the Kenya-Somalia border have been arrested at Liboi.

Three assault rifles and a pistol alongside eight magazines, four pouches of magazines and two military water bottles were found on them during the Thursday evening arrest.

Garissa county commissioner Meru Mwangi thanked the public for informing the police of the suspects who had been patrolling the border region.

Their nationality was not disclosed to reporters. However, a source who sought not to be named told the Star that the two are Kenyans who committed crimes in the border towns of Diif and Khorof Harar before escaping into the lawless neighbouring country.

The suspects were interrogated by police in Garissa before their transfer to Nairobi. The ammunition found on them was handed over to ballistic experts.

North Eastern regional commissioner Mohamed Birik on Friday said that the hunt for the suspects' accomplices is ongoing.
