RED ALERT: Two High Walue ISIS Terrorists Arrested While Planning a Terror Attack in Kenya

Kenya’s security agencies have foiled an imminent and deadly terror attack by Iranian trained terrorists after they arrested two Kenyans suspected to have been recruited into an Iranian terror cell to carry out attacks targeting both locals and foreigners in the country.

The two, Abubakar Sadiq Louw (69) and Yassin Sambai Juma (25), were arrested as they tried to recruit Kenyans into the terror group to help them stage an attack on the Kenyan soil.

Inspector General of Police, Joseph Boinnet, addressed the media on Saturday morning and confirmed the arrest of the two Kenyan terrorists who were trained in Iran.

Upon interrogation, Boinnet noted that the two terrorists disclosed their mission and their targets in Kenya.

They also revealed they were instructed to recruit more Kenyans into the ring, especially school children.

The two travelled back into the country from Iran where they met their handlers who trained them in many things on how to stage a terror attack as well as resist interrogation when arrested.

Boinnet said the police were still interrogating the suspects with an aim of squeezing more Intel from them.

It is not clear which terror group the two terrorists belong but reliable sources intimated that they belong to ISIS.
