Detectives have linked four wanted terror suspects whose photos were released to the alleged recruitment of young Kenya and Tanzania girls to Somalia.

According to police the four, Abulkadir Abubakar Issa Abdallah Kauni, Ahmed Said Omar and Hussein Said Omar were behind the luring of three ladies arrested in Mandera on their way to Somalia.

Regional police commander Robert Kitur said the four had established contacts with the girls from Malindi and are now being sort after they sneaked into the country from Somalia.
