The Kenyan government will charge four people with murder for a hotel suicide bombing in Mombasa last November that killed 11 Kenyans and three Israelis.
Kenyan officials said yesterday they have arrested four men connected with Fazul Abdullah Mohammed, an alleged al-Qaeda ringleader in East Africa and primary suspect in the November 28th attack on the Israeli-owned Paradise Hotel in Mombasa.
Mohammed also is a suspect in the 1998 bombing of the US Embassy in Nairobi, in which 211 people were killed and 5,000 injured.
The charges come after US Ambassador Mr Johnnie Carson criticised the Kenyan government last week for not doing enough to fight terrorism.
Last Friday, a Defense Intelligence Agency classified report warned of plans by al-Qaeda to attack a US government target in Kenya.
The report prompted the closure of the highly fortified US embassy and a warning against travel by Americans to the East African nation.
