Kenya: Security agencies on alert over militia scareThe controversial Jamaican Muslim cleric Abdullah Al-Faisal who is on the international terrorist watch list may end up taken back home by sea now that most countries have declined to issue him with a transit visa.
In an exclusive interview with KBC (Kenya Broadcasting Corporation), Immigration minister Otieno Kajwang says the government has been frustrated in its bid to deport him especially now that US has threatened to ban any air line that attempts to fly him.The minister says the government will enter into talks with Jamaica to craft a way of shipping him home.He said the government will neither release the controversial Jamaican Muslim cleric Abdullah Al-Faisal nor will it produce him in court on Thursday as ordered by the high court.According to the minister Al-Faisal is still held at the industrial area remand prison and will not be produced in court on Thursday as ordered by the high court.The development comes as police intensified the crackdown on illegal immigrants in the country and the beefing up of security surveillance at all border points after it emerged that members of the Al Shabaab rebels infiltrated the Friday’s demonstrations by Muslims some of them armed.The Muslim community in the country is now divided over this controversial cleric.
