Trial of four Kenyan al-Qaida attackers resumes

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Trial of four Kenyan al-Qaida attackers resumes

[I have been saying for quite some time that I wouldn’t be surprised if these terrorists spread into Africa. The USA was training African armies to prevent this. But it appears, terrorists might yet gain influence in Africa, and operate against the West from here. Terrorism is blurring borders. Jan]

The trial of four Kenyan men charged with murder for their alleged roles in an al-Qaida attack on Israeli tourists resumed Wednesday.

Omar Said Omar, Mohammed Nabhan, Aboud Rogo Mohammed and Mohamed Kubwa have been charged with 15 counts of murder for the Nov. 28, 2002 bombing of the Paradise Hotel north of Mombasa, an attack that killed 15 people, including three Israeli tourists. All four suspects have pleaded innocent.

At about the same time the car bomb struck the hotel, several men fired two surface-to-air missiles that missed an Israeli charter airliner taking off from nearby Mombasa airport.

Nabila Mohammed, a witness who lives in Mombasa, testified Wednesday that a man called Issa Kombo rented a house in her neighborhood before the attacks and there were many people coming and going from that house.

Omar’s alias given on his charge sheet is Issa Kombo Issa, but Mohammed said he was not the man who rented the house.

Prosecutors have amassed a wealth of circumstantial evidence linking six of the seven suspects to the attack, according to pretrial statements seen by The Associated Press and say witness testimony and physical evidence will implicate the defendants.

But there appears to be little direct proof, according to the 164 statements from witnesses and investigators. This leads critics to charge Kenyan authorities with trying the men because of pressure from the United States, which has criticized Kenya’s anti-terror efforts.

Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaida terror network claimed responsibility for the attacks in November 2002 as well as the August 1998 embassy bombings in Nairobi and in Dar es Salaam in neighboring Tanzania, which killed 231 people, including 12 Americans.

The other three Kenyan suspects are being tried on charges of conspiracy for their alleged roles in the hotel and embassy bombings, the attempt to shoot down the airliner and an alleged plot to destroy the new US Embassy in Nairobi last June.

The trial is scheduled to continue for two weeks.
