Two terror suspects arrested in Nairobi on Sunday were deported to Australia
last night.
The middle-aged couple were driven to the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport,
Nairobi, under tight security escort and held in an isolated section of the
terminal until the plane was ready to leave.
A third suspect was still in police custody when we went to press. The couple
was of Somali origin but had acquired Australian passports. The three had
allegedly booked rooms at the Fairview Hotel for other people using their
documents.
Immigration Department and the Anti-Terrorism Police Unit personnel
interrogated the trio for three days. They declined to tell security officers
whom the rooms were being booked for and why.
Following the interrogations, it was decided that Mukter Moihammed Said, holder
of an Australian passport number L4760671 and his wife Sitaka Bonjak holding
passport number 3590566 be deported back to Australia.
The suspects were arrested by GSU personnel based at the Israeli embassy, which
is situated metres away from the hotel. The trio had tried to book rooms facing
the embassy at about 1 pm on Sunday.
