Kenyan authorities arrest al-Qaida suspects

Kenyan authorities have arrested more than two dozen suspects wanted for two al-Qaida attacks, including some on the FBI’s most wanted list, a senior government official said.

The suspects, including several alleged masterminds, are accused of taking part in the 1998 car bombing of the US Embassy in Nairobi and the November 2002 attack on a coastal hotel in Mombasa, National Security Minister Christopher Murungaru told the East African Standard newspaper.
