A JIHADIST WHO KILLED 11 CIVILIANS IS FREE IN KENYA DESPITE THE GRAVE RISK

In a remarkably unreasonable and perhaps bizarre, ruling in Kenya, a Judge has released from jail, a convicted terrorist who was serving a life sentence, despite the grave risks of recidivism. Elgiva Bwire Oliacha, also known as Mohamed Seif, a member of the Al-Qaeda affiliate in Somalia, Harakat al-Shabaab al Mujahideen, pleaded guilty to multiple terrorists attack in the Capital Nairobi…

Alongside Felix Nyangaga Otuko, Bwire was responsible for the killing of 11 people at Machakos Country bus station and a grenade attack at Mwaura’s ba. He was sentenced to life in prison by a Nairobi court. A Terrorist and a murderer, Bwire is now is free, another indictment on the Kenyan Judiciary. The rationale of releasing a convict who willingly committed acts of terrorism besides murdered a dozen persons is incredible.

Prison Radicalization and Terrorist Recidivism.

Criminal psychologists warn that the recidivism rate of terrorism offenders is higher than that for ordinary criminal offenders and that affiliation with a terrorist organization significantly increase it. Prisons are frequently designated as the “hotbeds” of radicalization to violent extremism.

When Benjamin Herman, a 36-year-old Belgian, walked out of prison in Liege with a two-day pass on May 28, he was a man on a mission. That evening he killed a drug dealer he had met behind bars by beating him with a hammer. The next morning he attacked two policewomen from behind and repeatedly slashed them with a box cutter while screaming “Allahu akbar!”

He took a service pistol from one of them and shot them both dead. He continued down the street and killed a man in a parked car before taking a woman hostage in a school. She was a Muslim and appealed to him to not hurt the children. His murderous mission, and life, ended soon after as he attempted to flee from the school. He exchanged gunfire with police, wounding four officers, and was shot dead.
