Kenya has deported to The Gambia a Jamaican-born Muslim cleric notorious for preaching racial hatred, Kenya's immigration minister says. Abdullah al-Faisal was arrested last week and there have been conflicting reports about his whereabouts.
"We had problems deporting him because many countries, including the US, declined to have him even on transit," the minister, Otieno Kajwang, said.
Mr Kajwang said Faisal was being expelled for his "terrorist history".The cleric has served four years in a UK prison after being convicted of soliciting the murder of Jews and Hindus.
"He chose Gambia and we have deported him there this morning," Mr Kajwang told reporters, AFP news agency reports."In fact the information we have is that he has already landed there and Gambia has received him."
