NAIROBI, Kenya — Human-rights officials accused the Kenyan police Friday of eliminating suspected terrorists after armed men dragged a terror suspect out of a car. He was the third terror suspect to be abducted since April.
Lawyer Mbugua Mureithi said Sylvester Opiyo, also known as Musa Osodo, is the “usual suspect” in terror-related investigations. Opiyo was abducted by armed men Wednesday after the car he was traveling in with five other people broke down in western Kenya, Mureithi said. Police have denied they are holding him.
Two terror suspects were abducted by armed men on the Kenyan coast last month. One was found dead two days later, mutilated. The other man has not been found.
