Kenya admits arresting UK soldier murder suspect in 2010

The government spokesman said Kenya had played no role in his alleged radicalisation.

“The implication that Adebolajo… was somehow radicalised on a short trip to Kenya en route to Somalia remains totally unproven and meaningless,” he said.

“The fact that a man passed through Kenya not long ago and then ended up hacking a British soldier to death on a London street is just that – a random fact.”

The Shabaab issued a series of Twitter messages after Wednesday’s killing, but made no mention of any possible connection to Adebolajo.

“Toulouse, Boston, Woolwich… Where next? You just have to grin and bear it, it’s inevitable. A case of the chickens coming home to roost!” one message read, referring to recent attacks in France and the United States, and Wednesday’s murder.

“What Cameron describes as a “sickening” attack is what innocent Muslim woman and children are subjected to every day by British troops,” another read, referring to British Prime Minister David Cameron.

“The British army has a woeful record of abuses against unarmed Muslims across the globe. It’s an eye for an eye, so you can lump it!”
