Mombasa: Kenyan police say they have arrested
an imam after they found a cache of weapons in his house.
The chief of police for the coastal region says that the
suspect is a sympathizer with Somalia's al-Shabab militia.
Aboud Rogo was named in a UN report last year as having
links to al-Shabab. He is currently on bail for possession of
weapons.
Deputy Commissioner Aggrey Adoli says that the haul
included a pistol, a rifle, bomb detonators and some hand
grenades.
But Rogo's wif
e Khania Saidi Sagar says that police
framed her husband. She says the house was searched in front
of Rogo's mother and children and nothing was found.
