MOMBASA. — Three terror suspects were arrested as they attempted to register for a quick financial transaction line within Mwembe tayari area, local police in Kenya’s Mombasa city said yesterday.

Martin Asin, police boss of Mombasa, said the Mpesa agent alerted security agents who immediately arrested one of the suspects before raiding the guest house where they recovered the bullets.
