Courts found two men guilty of helping terrorists attack the DusitD2 hotel in 2019. Mohamed Abdi Ali and Hussein Abdille Mohamed face prison time for supporting the deadly assault. Justice Diana Kavedza announced the verdict at Kahawa Law Courts on Thursday. The attack killed 21 people and hurt many others across Nairobi. Judges will decide the punishment for both men on June 19th.
Mohamed Abdi Ali sent more than 558,000 shillings to attack leaders before the bombing. Police caught him at the Mandera border, where he changed money for travelers. The man claimed he supported three wives and 20 children through his business. He received 3,000 dollars from unknown contacts and passed the money to terrorists. Ali helped pay for surveillance and bombing materials used against innocent victims.
Hussein Abdille Mohamed picked up packages from attack planners and hid militants at his home. Officers arrested him at Mandera after tracking his connections to the terror group. The man helped create fake school papers for one of the attackers. He also assisted the wife of a terror leader to escape to Somalia. Both convictions represent important progress against terrorist networks threatening Kenya.
