A Kenyan court has handed down 30-year prison sentences to two men for their roles in facilitating the 2019 attack on a luxury hotel in Nairobi that resulted in 21 fatalities.
The convicted individuals, Hussein Mohamed Abdille Ali and Mohamed Abdi Ali, both Kenyan nationals, were found guilty of sending money and procuring fake identification documents for the attackers who perished during the DusitD2 complex assault.
The attack was claimed by the Somali-based militant group al-Shabab, notorious for previous deadly attacks in Kenya and Somalia. Judge Diana Kavedza noted the significance of this comprehensive counterterrorism investigation, calling it pivotal for bringing closure to survivors. Among the victims were citizens from the U.S. and the U.K.
