Fazul Abdullah Mohammed, one of Africa's most wanted terrorists, escaped before raid on coastal hideout, police say.
One of al-Qaida's top operatives in Africa narrowly escaped arrest at the weekend after slipping through a police trap, according to Kenyan security officials.
Fazul Abdullah Mohammed, who has a $5m bounty from the US on his head, was reported to have left his hideout in the coastal resort town of Malindi shortly before a raid on Saturday night. Police had already arrested Mahfoudh Ashur, the owner of the house where police say Mohammed was staying, along with Ashur's wife and son. They denied a charge of sheltering a fugitive in court today.
"We have not still been able to catch him [Fazul], but we are on his trail," said Eric Kiraithe, the Kenyan police spokesman, today.
