Police in Kenya say a Canadian man accused of wielding a machete and injuring almost half a dozen people at a mosque in Nairobi has pleaded not guilty.
The East African country’s Directorate of Criminal Investigations says the 32-year-old appeared in court Thursday on nine terrorism charges, such as assault causing actual bodily harm.

A post on the department’s social media says back in February, a man entered a mosque posing as a worshipper.
It alleges that once inside, he locked the main doors, pulled a machete and attacked congregants.
Officials say the suspect was arrested and the weapon used was recovered, while the five injured congregants were taken to hospital for treatment.
It says the man is being held at the Kamiti Maximum Security Prison ahead of his next court date later this month for a pre-bail report.
Why is this front page news when global routinely relegates shootings at religious-affiliated institutions on Canadian soil to the back pages? Could this be selective prioritization of reporting hate crimes based on the targeted group?
not a Canadian, “Canadian” literally means nothing anymore. most of these violent crimes are committed by immigrants
Global isn’t telling you his name, but it is Mohamed Mohamed, also known by the alias Mohamed Abdul Mohamed.
I like ot hear he targeted muslims though. Good job!
Any relation to the ‘Welsh’ teenager who killed a bunch of little girls in a dance class in the UK a few years back?…
But the law won’t charge the Aboriginals for their terrorist activities like wrecking police cars, destroying statues, burning the Canadian flag & buildings, attacking/killing people on/off reserves with knives/machetes/guns/etc. They even run illegal businesses, money laundering vehicle theft, drug dealing and the list goes on!! Why do they get away with so much???
“Canadian”.
Go look at the mug shot.
Let me fix the heading for you. An immigrant from Kenya has been charged with terrorism after attacking people.
Would the last name end in a vowel?.
U, thank you.
He isn’t canadian, why the hell would any sane canadian go from the first world country Canada is, to a third world country like Kenya to attack people with a machete, that’s what radical islamists do.
This story should show Canadians that the progressive liberal government has a one touch program to make anyone coming to Canada and canadian, just handing out citizenship to anyone coming to the country, she the conservatives were calling it out and nothing has apparently changed.
Shame on you get again global, for pushing lies for the progressive liberal government, nothing but a propaganda machine now, just like in communist China
The word “Canadian” gets thrown around so much it has lost meaning.
And his name was?
Just guess guys….guess…
