KENYAN Police have arrested a suspect in connection with the Uganda bomb attacks that killed 76 people watching the World Cup final on television, an official said.
The man was arrested at a police checkpoint on Wednesday near the Kenya-Somalia border with a satellite phone and digital camera, Northeastern Provincial Commissioner James ole Seriani said yesterday.
Police say the man said he supported Somalia's al-Qaida linked group, al-Shabab, despite his claim to be a member of the Ugandan army. Police officers are interrogating the man to determine his nationality, Seriani said.
Kenya beefed up its security along its porous border with Somalia after al-Shabab claimed responsibility for the twin blasts in Uganda.
Separately, police in the Kenyan capital have arrested more than 100 foreigners in an operation aimed at clearing the city of illegal immigrants, said Nairobi police.
