Uganda back in the News… Al Qaeda Terrorist arrested on the Border

Radical Muslims have been advancing on all fronts into Sub-Saharan and even Central Africa, from Nigeria, to northern Kenya, and even as far south as Tanzania. Now, solid proof of their increasing incursions into Uganda. (Uganda is located just south of the heavily Muslim Sudan where genocide against the Christian minority in the south by the Islamic Government has been standard policy). At least one Al Qaeda rebel has been captured in the troubled Central African nation.

From The UK Independent, April 2:

Security agents in Kampala arrested a suspected Somali Al Shabaab terrorist linked to the Al-Qaeda.

Hashi Hussein Farah and a dozen others were arrested by the Joint Anti-terrorism Taskforce (JATT) in Kisenyi slum in the capital Kampala on Thursday. He was paraded on television later in the evening. The terror suspects were taken away by the anti-terrorism squad for further interrogation.

It’s not clear where he is being detained. The Police spokesperson Judith Nabakooba declined to comment, saying the police did not arrest Farah. She referred The Independent to JATT, a largely military intelligence squad, which carried out the arrest.

However the Army Spokesman Lt. Col. Felix Kulayigye declined to divulge details about Hussein Farah, on account that it would jeopardise investigations. He said Farah’s arrest is part of a wider investigation. He did not say where Farah was being detained.

Farah, who has an Australian passport, was first arrested by the Kenyan police on March 13, 2010 as he was trying to cross Uganda’s Busia border into Kenya.

Last year, Muslim clerics in Uganda pushed legislation that would allow for the executiion of any Uganda citizens caught in a Homosexual act.
