Kenya has thanked FBI, United Kingdom and Israeli law enforcement authorities for their assistance that led to the convictions of two terror suspects. The two men were sentenced to 18 and 33 years in jail after they were convicted of helping Islamist militants attack Westgate shopping mall in 2013. In a statement on Sunday evening, IG Hillary Mutyambai said the three played a key role in building a watertight case against the accused persons. “The conviction and sentence of the aforementioned accused persons demonstrates our commitment to hold accountable not only persons who commit terrorists acts, but also those who support, aid, abet and facilitate commission of terrorist activities,” reads a joint statement by the IG and DPP.
