The government said Shabaab is recruiting youth with the help of extemist clerics in Nairobi and in the northeastern, western, and coastal regions. Many of the clerics are said to be Tanzanians, including wanted Sheikh Ramadhan Juma, who is accused of facilitating cross-border radicalization. Authorities have released 41 suspected Shabaab members arrested during a raid at the Masjid Musa in Mombasa on Feb. 2; among those freed was Masjid Musa preacher Suleiman Ali, who was charged with incitement. Three computers seized in the raid reportedly contained jihadist training materials and details on the financing of Shabaab networks in Kenya.
