7/7 terror accused Briton 'was arrested while dressed in a burka'
Kenyan police said they caught Jermaine Grant, 29, on a bus in a burka as they hunted him over an attack on a police base in 2008
A British man allegedly linked to a plot involving a 7/7 bombing widow was dressed as a woman when he was arrested, a court heard yesterday.
Kenyan police said they caught Jermaine Grant, 29, on a bus in a burka as they hunted him over an attack on a police base in 2008.
A police sergeant alerted by passengers told the Nairobi court: “I closely looked at his head and realised he was a man.”
London-born Grant later escaped custody but was recaptured.
Police believe he was associated with 28-year-old Samantha Lewthwaite, widow of London bomber Jermaine Lindsay, suspected of planning to bomb Kenyan resorts.
She has now gone on the run and is believed to be hiding in Somalia.
Grant denies charges of violent robbery over the police base attack.
The case was adjourned.
