Iranian agents arrested with explosives |
Two Iranian agents, who were arrested with explosives, had planned to attack
American, British, Israeli
people in Kenya , officials have claimed. According to The Telegraph, officials
said that the plot appeared to be another attempt by Iranian agents against Israeli
interests. Ahmad Abolfathi Mohammad and Sayed Mansour Mousavi were last week with
33 pounds of RDX in the coastal city of Mombasa . An official said the Iranians
are members of Iran 's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps Quds Force, an elite
and secretive unit. Investigators believe that if the Iranian plot had been successful,
suspicion would have naturally fallen not on Iran , but instead on the Al-Qaeda-linked
Somali militant group al-Shabab. Al-Shabab has threatened to bring Nairobi 's
skyscrapers following Kenya 's military push into Somalia last year. Militants,
most likely from Somalia , have pulled off small-scale attacks in Kenya in the
last year, including kidnappings, grenade attacks and a bombing in downtown Nairobi
that peeled back the roof of a building.
