CRI听力:Kenya Publishes List of Terrorist Suspects

2015-04-09来源:CRI

The Kenyan government has published a list of groups it considers terrorist organizations and a list of entities it suspects of being associated with Al Shabab.

The list of 86 entities includes bus companies that operate between Nairobi and the country's northeast.

The businesses have had their bank accounts frozen.

Officials are also cracking down on informal money transfer services which are thought to be used to funnel funds to Somalia.

The move comes after six men linked to the Garissa University massacre where 148 people were killed appeared in a Nairobi court.

Prosecutors say the chief magistrate granted them 30 days to complete investigations while holding the men in police custody.

The suspects include the owner of a hotel where those who attacked the university had stayed and those who allegedly delivered weapons to the attackers.

Kenya's foreign minister Amina Mohamed says the authorities plan to compile a list of radicalized young men in the next few weeks.

"The idea is, obviously, as a government for us is to try and account for those who are not here, find out where they are, see whether we can encourage them to come back and help them get deradicalised, maybe setup even centres where we can take them so that they can actually be taught the true worth of Muslim faith."

Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta has also asked the Muslim community in the country to help root out radicalization at home.

Hundreds of people attended a vigil in Nairobi's Freedom Park as three days of mourning officially came to an end.

Al Shabaab militants have killed over 400 people in Kenya since April 2013 with the government trying to stop fighters and weapons coming across the 700 km border with Somalia.
