Three European nationals arrested in Kenya on suspicion of
terrorist activities have been released.
German Andrej Hermlin tells the French news agency, AFP, that he
and fellow German Gerd Uwe, along with a Dutch woman, Fleur van
Dissel, were released earlier Saturday.
No reason for the release was given.
On Friday, police spokesman Eric Kiraithe had said the three were
arrested at Nairobi's international airport late Thursday as they
attempted to leave the country.
Kiraithe said the suspects entered the country as journalists but
had, in his words, been "conducting themselves in a suspicious
manner."
He says the three took video
footage of security installations in the country.
