The 35-year-old was detained at passport control in the capital’s Jomo Kenyatta airport on Monday afternoon as he prepared to board a Turkish Airlines flight. His arrest came as Kenyan detectives investigated whether some of the terrorists from the Somali-based Al Shabaab militant group slipped out of the Westgate shopping complex amid the confusion, after switching their clothes with those of their hostages.
