A Kenyan court on Friday sentenced the widow of a radical imam to 10 years in prison for her role in a failed attack on a police station in the port city of Mombasa. Haniya Said was found guilty of conspiracy for supporting an attack in which three women fire-bombed the city’s main police station on 11 September, 2016, wielding knives and stabbing an officer. A report on The Citizen site notes that all three attackers were shot dead. Said is the widow of Aboud Rogo Mohammed, an imam killed in Mombasa in August 2012.
