Kenyan Justice: Signed, Sealed, Delivered
"I shudder to imagine the amount of life and property that would have been forever destroyed. Even as I hear the accused persons mitigating and crying for mercy, there is yet a louder cry by the blood of the previous victims of terrorist attacks, the orphan, the widow and widower due to such heinous attacks. All are crying for justice."
Kenyan Magistrate Kiarie Waweru
Beyond the compassionate purple prose there is the assurance that two Iranian nationals will not be free to carry on their national vendetta against western and Israeli interests. Seemingly unperturbed by the ruling of the Nairobi court, Ahmad Abolfathi Mohammad and Sayed Mansour Mousavi heard out their sentences of life in prison.
For, quaintly termed, 'committing acts intended to cause grievous harm'. Sentenced as well to additional prison terms of 15 and 10 years on lesser charges.
Unfortunately, to be served simultaneously, which is sad, to be sure. Life-plus. Better dead? They haven't commented. Mohammed obligingly smiled for the media cameras.
Their defence claim they are prepared to appeal. Nothing dreadfully unusual about Iranian agents fanning out all over the world - Azerbaijan, Thailand, India - wherever western interests happen to be installed, wherever Jewish presence is, they will also be there.
After their 2012 arrest the two led officials to a 15-kilogram cache of the RDX explosive. It seems clear enough to intelligence experts that they were planning attacks on Israeli, American, British or Saudi Arabian interests in Kenya. Take your pick. A prosecution expert testified that the RDX cache of explosives was enough to bring down a tall building.
The two men, according to Kenyan anti-terror officials, are members of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps Quds Force. Who are tasked by the Islamic Republic of Iran to demonstrate to the world at large just how powerful a force Islam, practised by Iranian Shiites, is as a religion of peace, understanding and goodwill for humankind.
