The suspects are linked to the killing of civilians in the coastal Lamu county
The Kenyan government has released the names and photos of 35 terror suspects believed to be behind recent militant attacks in the coastal Lamu county.
Among them are Tanzanians, Somalis, a German, a British national, a Bangladeshi citizen, with the majority being Kenyans.
The suspects are linked to the planting of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) on various roads and the killing of civilians along the Lamu-Witu-Garsen highway.
They are also linked to the attack on the American military base at Manda Bay, in Lamu, in 2020.
The Ministry of Interior said the "armed and dangerous" suspects were part of the "al-Shabab terror network responsible for planning and orchestrating deadly attacks in Lamu county and the larger Boni Enclave".
Authorities say a "substantial reward" will be offered to anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of any of the suspects.
Al-Shabab has stepped up attacks in Kenya’s north-eastern and coastal regions in recent months.
The al-Qaeda-linked militant group is facing a large-scale military offensive in Somalia that seeks to drive out the jihadists.
