Kenya: Two Britons Arrested By Terror Police

Two British citizens have reportedly been arrested by anti-terror police in Kenya.

Sky sources suggested the pair had been carrying hand grenades.

They were detained in Diani, a beach resort on the country's south coast.

A spokesman for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office said: "We're looking into reports of two British nationals detained in Kenya.

"We stand ready to offer consular assistance."

The arrests come two months after the Westgate shopping mall siege in the capital Nairobi in which 67 people, including six Britons were killed.

Briton Samantha Lewthwaite is wanted by Kenyan police

Earlier this month four men appeared in a Nairobi court charged with "supporting a terrorist group" in connection with the attack in September.

Kenyan police are hunting British-born Samantha Lewthwaite, the widow of a 7/7 suicide bomber Germaine Lindsay, who is said to have masterminded the Westgate massacre.

Interpol issued a warrant for her arrest shortly afterwards for terrorist offences in Mombasa, just along the coast from Diani, dating back to 2011.

Lewthwaite, who has two children by Lindsay and is known as the 'White Widow', is also wanted in connection with seven murders in Kenya.

The 29-year-old is a member of the Somali-based terror group al Shabaab and has been described by Kenyan security officials as an "incredible threat".
