A Nairobi court on Friday released two men, a father and his son, who were facing terror charges, after being linked to the Somali-based terror group Al Shabab.
San Guracha Haro and his son Worqu Dejene Sar were being faced with six terror charges after being blamed for the explosion of two busses in Nairobi's Githurai area in 2014.
Chief Magistrate Francis Andayi heard that the duo was to blame for the explosions, with one of the busses being said to have been in its way to Githurai 45 and the other to Mwiki in Kasarani.
The prosecution insinuated that the explosions were well-coordinated and that they closely followed each other, leaving three dead, two from the Githurai-bound bus.
The prosecution charged Dejene, who was arrested a week later, with planting the bombs in the busses, claiming that the crime was done at Home Land area on May 4, 2014, at 5pm.
However, the court found the claims unfounded, as the prosecution did not convince it that the accused travelled to Somalia for terror training.
His father was charged with receiving money from the terror group and threatening a witness against testifying against his son.
The judge acquitted him of the first charge, noting that there was no link between the reception of the money and the explosions, but found him guilty of issuing threats to the witness.
The blasts left 67 other people injured.
