Kenya: 20 Bank Accounts Probed Over Terror Links - Muhoro

Nairobi — Detectives have launched investigations into 20 foreign and local bank accounts suspected to fund terrorism in Kenya. Criminal Investigations Department Director Ndegwa Muhoro says the accounts are being probed by the Banking Fraud Investigation Unit, which detected suspicious transactions.  Kenya has faced increased terror threats in the recent past among them the September 2013 Westgate attack that left 67 people dead. Several grenade attacks have taken place especially in the city's Eastleigh area with the recent killing six people at a restaurant.

A gun attack at a Church in Likoni by suspected terrorists in March also left six people dead. Following the attacks, the government has launched a massive crackdown targeting illegal aliens and 82 Somalis have since been deported.
