A Kenyan
court has given police 15 days to interrogate a man suspected of conducting
surveillance on President Uhuru Kenyatta's home as part of an alleged plan to carry
out a terrorist attack.
Prosecutor
Daniel Karuri more time is needed to extract mobile phone data from Said Mire
Siyad, who was found in the president's home in Gatundu South in central Kenya.

Karuri said preliminary
investigations show the suspect has other associates who are yet to be arrested.
Siyad was
among eight other suspects recently arrested for links to alleged extremism.
Kenya
security forces have increased the frequency of arrests of people suspected of
involvement in extremism since four gunmen from the Somali extremist group al
Shabab killed 148 people earlier this month at a college in Garissa, Kenya.
