Court remands terror suspects who surrendered to the police

Mombasa, Kenya: Two suspected terrorists who surrendered to the police on Tuesday and Wednesday have been remanded in police custody for five days.

Mombasa Resident Magistrate Vicky Kachuodho issued the order as 13 other suspects who were arrested at Sakina Mosque and Musa Mosque denied charges of being in possession of eight hand grenades.
