A suspect in the killing of Lee Rigby was arrested in Kenya in 2010 near its border with Somalia, an official said yesterday.
Michael Adebolajo was believed to have been preparing to train and fight with the al-Qaida-linked militant group al-Shabab when he was arrested with five others, Kenya's anti-terrorism police unit head Boniface Mwaniki said.
However, a Kenyan government spokesman said he was arrested under a different name and handed to British authorities.
"Kenya's government arrested Michael Olemendis Ndemolajo. We handed him to British security agents in Kenya and he seems to have found his way to London and mutated to Michael Adebolajo," he said. "The Kenyan government cannot be held responsible for what happened to him after we handed him to British authorities."
