Mogadishu-KNN-Police have linked Dusit suicide bomber Mahir Riziki to the recently slain Ngombeni gang leader and suspected terror operative Mohamed Rashid Mwatsumiro, alias Modi.
Modi was shot dead on August 30 after engaging the elite Recce police officers in a shootout at his house in Ngombeni, Kwale County.
Corporal Jeremiah Mula, who was shot in the stomach, was airlifted to Nairobi for treatment.
A police report obtained by the Nation shows that police recovered from the suspect’s home a Glock pistol S/No.MR 763 loaded with 10 rounds of 9mm ammunition, one live 9mm bullet and a spent cartridge.
Also recovered were materials for making improvised explosive devices (IED), including batteries connected in series, 10 metres of electric wire with two switches and a black masking tape.
“A pamphlet bearing a name of a terror suspect whose case is proceeding before Mombasa High Court was recovered. A head mask, one pair of black hand gloves and literature materials containing Islamic teachings were also found,” says the police report.
