Kenya varsity attack mastermind surrenders in Somalia

A United State born Islamic insurgent believed to be
one of the masterminds of the terror attack on a
Kenyan university earlier this year, surrendered to
the Somali military at the weekend.
A senior official disclosed this in Mogadishu on
Monday, on condition of anonymity.
He said Abdimalik Jones had recently defected
from al-Shabaab to fighters backing Islamic State
when he surrendered near the southern port town of
Barawe in the Lower Shabelle region.
Meanwhile, The Mayor of Barawe, Hussein-
Mohamed Barre, confirmed that Jones was found as
he was hiding himself somewhere near Barawe after
defecting from al Shabaab.
Barre said the troops ordered him to surrender and
he did so.
The mayor confirmed that Jones was due to be
sent to Mogadishu for further investigation.
Some 148 people, most of them students, were
killed when al-Shabaab militants stormed the
Garissa University campus in north-eastern Kenya in
April.
