Al Jazeera Documentary “Deliberately Skewed To Support And Empathize With Terrorists And Their Sympathizers"-Kenya Interior Ministry

Kenya’s government has expressed its anger
over a documentary produced by Al
Jazeera, which features unidentified
Kenyan security personnel claiming that Kenya’s
police operates death squads which target radical
muslim preachers.

Reuters reports that Kenyan authorities vehemently
refute the “police death squad” allegations made in
the Al Jazeera documentary, which aired on
Monday. The documentary in question purports to
show unnamed security personnel revealing their
roles in government-directed hits of radical muslim
leaders.
Kenya’s interior ministry has released a statement
warning that it was working to bring charges
against journalists connected with the documentary
and argued that the documentary was "deliberately
skewed to support and empathize with terrorists and
their sympathizers".
Muslim groups have decried heavy-handed police
action targeting mosques and muslim leaders, which
the government argues are centers for the
radicalization of impressionable muslim youth.
Kenya’s police force has been under pressure to
snuff out an increasing string of deadly terrorist
attacks committed by the Al-Shabab terror network
including a chilling midnight attack at a quarry in
Kormey, where 33 quarry workers were executed,
with three decapitated about a week ago. The Al-
Shabab group has warned Kenya that it would be
escalating attacks on Kenyan territory as long as
Kenyan troops remain in Somalia in support of the
Somali transitional government.
