Intelligence officials are examining three mobile phones seized during a March 11 raid in the Mombasa suburb of Changamwe on suspected Shabaab members, including Abdiaziz Abdi, a Somali national thought to be the mastermind of a recently foiled terrorist attack. His phone indicated he had been communicating with contacts in Gedo, Somalia, prior to his arrest. Police arrested 77 people on drug abuse and loitering charges in Kwale, a coastal region south of Mombasa. The UN denounced the government’s recent order for some 50,000 Somali refugees to move to two camps.
