Kenyan anti-terrorism police arrested two ISIS suspects in the coastal city of Mombasa during a major operation to nab youth who had joined foreign radical groups, Xinhua reported.

Police sources said the male and female suspected ISIS fighters aged 20 and 26 years respectively had earlier been deported by Turkish authorities when they sneaked into the country after training in Syria.

Mombasa County Commander, Peter Maelo stated that  the two ISIS suspects are being interrogated to shed light on the activities of the terror network in Kenya. He noted that the suspects have been on intelligence radar since November when Turkish authorities informed Kenyan security personnel about their connection to ISIS.
