Kenyan police on Friday arrested six terror suspects in the coastal city of Mombasa.
The suspects were later brought before a Mombasa court on charges of alleged links with Somalia-based militant group Al-Shabaab.
Investigative officer Charles Mwai told the court that they believed one of the suspects, Sahara Hussein, recruited the other five suspects, who are all from Somalia, to join Al-Shabaab, adding that probes were underway.
Mombasa Senior Principal Magistrate Richard Odenyo ordered the suspects to be remanded until Aug. 7 when their case will come up for mention.
Kenyan soldiers have intensified manhunt for Al-Shabaab militants who escaped after a foiled attack in Basuba, Lamu, on Wednesday.
Three of the members were killed during the attack. Enditem
