Kenya’s security agencies have warned of a planned al Shabaab attack in Nairobi before Ramadhan ends on July 17 – and urgently issued photos of six suspects plotting the attack.
They are among the terrorists who survived the foiled Baure, Lamu, raid on June 14 when five KDF soldiers were killed and 11 al Shabaab fighters shot dead by the army. Four other terrorists were slain while on the run.
“There are those who are still on the run. Police call upon the Kenyan people to provide any information leading to the capture of the fugitives,” a statement by security and intelligence agencies said.

The statement included profiles of the nine — six wanted and three slain. It gave no information about a possible terror target in Nairobi.
The six wanted men are: Mbarak Abdi Huka, Ibrahim Magag, Abdalla Suleiman Makhtum, Omar (full name not given, younger brother of the late Hassan Omondi Owiti, alias Budalangi), Salim Jamal Mwangi, alias Jamaloo, and Rama Mbwana Mbega.
“Kenyan security agencies continue investigations that will bring to justice criminals who were involved in plans to attack Kenyans. Authorities have identified a number of terrorists who attacked Kenyan soldiers in Baure,” the statement said.
