A man and his son, accused of hosting slain Al-Qaeda terrorist Fazul Abdullah who was linked to Nairobi US embassy bombing of 1998, have been found guilty of three terrorism-related charges.
Mahfudh Ashur Hemed and his son Ibrahim Mahfudh Ashur were on Tuesday found guilty of being accessories after the fact by harbouring and maintaining Mr Abdullah.
It was said that they did so to enable him escape punishment after the 1998 and 2002 terrorist attacks in Nairobi and Kikambala.
Embu Chief Magistrate Maxwell Gicheru convicted the two of harbouring the terrorist, who was unlawfully in the country, on unknown dates between December 2007 and August 2, 2008 at Silversand Estate, Malindi.
Mr Gicheru said he did not believe the accused did not know Mr Abdullah or that he was a terrorist wanted for the US Embassy and Paradise Hotel attacks as they had Friday bulletins with his picture and stories on the incidents.
