Kenya police on Saturday arrested a terror suspect believed to have a hand in plotting of attacks in the coastal city of Mombasa.
The regional police commander Larry Keing confirmed that Hamida Awadh was arrested during a security raid conducted at her house in Kibokoni, Mombasa.
According to Kieng, Awadh is suspected to be Al-Shabaab militant after police officers previously intercepted her communication with the militant member Abdulgadir Omar in Somalia.
During the raid, the police commander said the security officers confiscated electronics suspected to be used to radicalize young girls to join the terror group.
Police detectives managed to recover a video recording among other radical materials in her house.
Awadh is currently being interrogated by team of anti-terror police (ATPU) officers.
