Two suspected terrorists with links to terror group Boko
Haram have been charged with an acid attack on two
British tourists, it has been claimed.
The two men, who have not been named, are alleged to
have driven past 2 friends Katie Gee and Kirstie Trup while
the duo were on holiday in Tanzania in August 2013 and
poured acid on them as the terrorists drove past the girls
on a moped .
Abdulrahman Kinana, a senior politician from the ruling
party, said the Brits were attacked by members of the
Uamsho or "Awakening" group who have now been
charged.
He said:
"Assisted by investigators from the British police at
New Scotland Yard and Interpol, the Tanzanian
authorities later arrested for the crime members of
Uamsho or "Awakening", an Islamic terrorist group
with known links to Boko Haram.
"They have now been charged in court.
"Uamsho has a history of targeting foreigners and
even Muslim and Christian religious leaders who do
not support their aim of tearing apart the union of
Tanzania through terrorism and converting Zanzibar
into an extremist state."
Katie and Kirstie, from north London, were both nearing the
end of a month teaching English when they were both
attacked with sulphuric acid.
