MALINDI MAN, son found guilty of terrorism offences for housing Al-Qaeda operative Fazul Mohammed who was linked to Nairobi US embassy bombing.
Mahfudh Ashur and Ibrahim Mahfudh were on Tuesday convicted with four counts including aiding and harbouring a terrorist.
Mohammed is said to have been the brains behind the August 7, 1998, bombing in the US embassy which claimed over 200 lives.
He is also said to have been behind the 2002 Paradise Hotel in Kikambala attack which killed 17 people.
In a judgement by chief magistrate Maxwell Gicheru, the court said the case against the duo was proven beyond doubt.
Gicheru said it was evident Mohammed stayed in Ashur’s house and the items recovered from his house belonged to the terrorists.
The magistrate said a DNA test conducted on a shaver that was recovered from their house proved that it belonged to Mohammed.
He said the shaver samples matched samples collected on his children in Ethiopia and the remains of a body believed to belong to Mohammed.
