And here I thought the worst was behind us... Only to be reminded , "you snooze, you get boomed! " Kenyan Inspector General of Police, Joseph Boinnet, on Wednesday, revealed chilling details of the recent foiled terror attack, which is said to be one of the most successful arrests in recent times. The terror suspects arrested in Isiolo last month, one of whom had booked a hotel room for almost a week near the Central Police Station, were targeting the Judiciary buildings and a government installation. Mr Boinnet said that the vehicle with registration number KBM 200D that was seized from the suspects in Merti, Isiolo County, was laden with approximately 80kg of high-grade Trinitrotoluene (TNT) explosives. The police boss revealed that the vehicle, which would have been used as a Suicide Vehicle Bound Explosive Device (SVBIED), was set to be driven to Nairobi and would have killed hundreds of innocent civilians. A police investigation revealed that one of the suspects, Abdimajit Adan, 24, had booked a hotel room near the Central Police Station 10 days earlier, and only travelled to Merti on the day he was arrested, leaving a note to the hotel management pleading for them to reserve the same room for him because he would be back. He was arrested alongside Mohammed Nane on Thursday, February 15, after a brief exchange of fire. Police found five AK-47 assault rifles, 1,099 rounds of ammunition, and 36 fully loaded magazines in their car. A third suspect was killed at the scene in Yamincha, while two others escaped. It emerged after the vehicle was towed to Nairobi for scrutiny that the suspects had laced it with eight projectiles and shrapnel materials around its body. Each of the ranged weapon, according to Mr Boinnett, contains approximately 10kg of TNT. The shrapnel in it include ball bearings meant to maximise causalities when it explodes. The police boss said if the terrorists had been successful, the SVBIED would have caused a high magnitude explosion that would have brought down a building frontal structure while the explosion wave would have killed hundreds of Kenyans. An expert attached to the Bomb and Hazardous Disposal Unit explained that just a kilogramme of TNT can cause destruction in up to 11 metres radius from the epicentre. The recovered explosives weighed 100kg in total. The objective of the destruction and murder, the police boss said, was to spread fear, attract attention of local, regional and international media and to embarrass government security forces so that they overreact and appear repressive. The police had three days after arresting the suspects in Merti, nabbed two more suspects and found them with receipts of two motorcycles. 1 Like

Why is the S.African government not doing anything about Suidlander terrorist group? They have been preparing to stage a coup or civil war since 2006 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yj6WtjqgIjk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FT3CLYhrCyA |

Tinfoil:oh leave them. they are just a bunch of bored white supremacist bastards. They don't have the balls to become terrorist, if they did they would have done that before they even came up with that cute logo of theirs. Boko Haram doesn't care for social appeal enough to have a cute logo, neither does ISIS or all the known terrorist groups. There is a lacking of men with Balls south of the African continent. You see to stage a militancy you need balls, lots of balls. Men with balls of different shapes but consistent sizes. Balls with scars on them, red balls,brown balls, black balls all sorts of balls. You need people who are willing to create fear with violence because thats the whole point of terrorism. 4 Likes |

Tinfoil:Firstly they are a tiny organisation(first time I've ever heard about them) Secondly they are not a terrorist group, neither have they ever planned to stage a coupe or start a civil war....... Or engage in any sort of violence..... Ever!! What they are is a bunch of superstitious afrikaners that believe there will be a civil war, which they need to prepare an emergency plan for......as ridiculous as their beliefs are, they certainly aren't a terrorist group. 1 Like |

It's a start, and may it filter down towards having an enlightened media policy. The Millennials and their mores are here and the SANDF and other militaries have to adapt accordingly. 2 Likes

I will not question the choices people make; hell, I'm joining a think-tank in a year's time. But there's something disturbing when an entire SF patrol (4 men) is lost to a PMC operating in Iraq and Afghanistan. The SANDF cannot compete with the salaries on offer, but we should do better to improve the Reserve system. In preparation for my impending exit, I've been looking at the Reserve Force and my god, is it an ossified system. It still operates as if conscription exists and doesn't incentivise Reserve Officers, in gainful employment and wanting to donate their time and skills. Conclusion: fully-staffed reserve units across all 4 arms are possible, if the SANDF gets its act together! PIC: post-94 SF patrol troop now lost to the SANDF 2 Likes

What do you think of changing the law to allow these guys to take extended leave to do contracting jobs ? SF and Task Force invest a of of time and money in training them. Doesn't make sense to me to just disavow them for trying to make some money on the open market. It would also allow the gov. to have more control over how and where they operate. The current prohibition doesn't seem to achieve anything. frumentius: 1 Like |
