Two Iranian men have been found guilty of plotting terrorist attacks against Western government facilities in Kenya.

Ahmed Mohammed and Sayed Mansour were arrested in Nairobi, Kenya last June with 33 pounds of explosives.  The men were found to have connections to an Islamic terror group that planned to blow up British, U.S. and Israeli targets.

Both men deny the charges but a judge said they have been “proven guilty beyond all reasonable doubt of all terror-related charges.”  Prosecutors said the men had the explosives “in circumstances that indicated they were armed with the intent to commit a felony, namely, acts intended to cause grievous harm.”

The men arrived in Kenya on June 12, 2012 and traveled to the port city of Mombasa to obtain RDX, a powerful explosive significantly stronger than TNT and considered one of the most powerful explosives in the United States’ military arsenal.  After their arrest a week later in the capital of Nairobi, their explosives were found hidden at a golf course outside of Mombasa.

Police say the men have an accomplice that has not yet been apprehended by authorities and could be trying to arrange for alternate attacks.  The terror group is suspected of bringing more than 190 pounds of RDX into the country for terrorist bombing attacks.

Both Mohammed and Mansour face up to 15 years in prison.
