Meanwhile in a widely-shared CCTV footage, the Dusit suicide bomber who is captured outside the Secret Garden Restaurant in the Dusit Complex moments before he blows himself up, killing an unknown number of people with him, was identified as Mahir Khalid Riziki.
Days later into investigations it emerges Almost all local security and intelligence agencies had dossiers identifying him as a radical with several dots on the radar screen, including after the deadly Garissa University attack in 2015 where 147 people were slaughtered.
According to the police, Mahir Khalid Riziki was linked to the Garissa University College attack that led to the deaths of at least 147 innocent people.
He went to Somalia between 2013 and 2014 where he is suspected to have undergone training with Al-Shabaab.
Intelligence agencies had been tracking his movements and had his photos.
His name was made public by the police after the Garissa attack.
Riziki was, according to law enforcement authorities, a member of Al Ayma, an elite unit of Al-Shabaab.
Kenyans cant comprehend how a man under police radar of Mahir’s calibre was able sneak in and commit such an outracious crime again.
