Two Iranians have been sentenced to life in prison by a Kenyan court on terrorism-related charges.

Ahmad Mohammed and Sayed Mousavi were convicted last week of possessing explosives, which they allegedly planned to use for an attack.

"I shudder to imagine the amount of damage that could have been seen," Judge Kiarie Waweru Kiarie said, AFP news agency reports.

The Iranian government denied that it was part of any plot to target Kenya.

This was a judicial process, which we respect”

Malik Hussein Givzad Iranian diplomat

Defence lawyer David Kirimi said he would appeal against the ruling.

"The sentencing is wrong, misconceived and outrageous, and an injustice to our clients," Mr Kirimi told AFP.
'Cry of victims'

The court said Mohammed and Mousavi were suspected to have links with a network planning bombings in the capital, Nairobi and the coastal city of Mombasa.

Judge Kiarie said he had decided to sentence them to life in prison because the "cry of victims of previous terrorist attacks is louder" than their pleas for leniency, AFP reports.

Defence lawyers alleged that Mohammed and Mousavi were interrogated by Israeli security officers while in detention.

The prosecution denied the allegation.

Mohamed and Mousavi were arrested in June 2012 and charged with possessing 15kg (33 pounds) of the powerful explosive RDX.

Soon thereafter, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Iran was plotting attacks against Israel in Kenya.

On Sunday, Iran's ambassador to Kenya, Malik Hussein Givzad, denied his government's involvement involved in any terror plot, Kenya's Daily Nation newspaper reports.

Iran would help Mohamed and Mousavi appeal against the ruling, he added.

However, Iran would not sever ties with Kenya over the issue, Mr Givzad said.

"Iran has cordial business relations with Kenya. This was a judicial process, which we respect," he is quoted as saying.

Kenya has been hit in recent years by a spate of bombings and abductions, blamed on Somalia's al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabab group.

It sent troops into Somalia in October 2011 to help the UN-backed government seize territory from the militants.

In 2002, al-Qaeda-linked militants bombed an Israeli-owned hotel in Mombasa, killing 18 people.

A missile was also fired, but it failed to hit its target - an Israeli charter plane flying out of Mombasa, a popular tourist resort. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-22425366

Sincere 9gerian: I'm not a bigot but the question that readily comes to mind when one reads this type of report is WHY NOT Amaechi-Lamido ticket? Must the south always serve under the north?

Who failed to build new power plants, transmission facilities or expand the distribution networks in the last 3 decades? Who failed to add new networks of roads in the last 2 decades? Who presided over the dilapidation of existing road networks? Who presided over the deterioration of the basic and tertiary education system? Who presided over the decayed rail transport system? Who created the enabling environment for corruption to grow astronomically? Who forcefully seized the missionary schools? Who converted Nigeria to a nation solely dependent on oil? Who presided over the astronomical rise in unemployment rate?

Can the people from the same ethnic group that is mostly responsible for these problems be trusted to solve them?

I have seen similar posts on FB about this same issue of government officials using NYSC corpse members to access funds only to use the funds for their personal businesses while the people it is meant for continue to wait and lose opportunities because their discharge certificates had been used as collateral for funds that have been diverted. Abeg anyone with connections to EFFC should also look into the matter.
sad tale.
By the way nowadays, d EFCC only goes after those who offend the powers that be.
