A court will this morning rule on whether three people accused of plotting a terror attack on a top city hotel will be detained to allow the police to complete investigations.

Abdi Mohammed Guled, Ibrahim Mohammed Guled and Mohammed Bashi Aden were arrested Sunday on suspicion of carrying out surveillance at an upscale hotel in Nairobi for purposes of carrying out a terrorist attack.
