Woolwich murder probe: suspect Michael Adebolajo held in Kenya in 2010 - BBC News Posted: 26 May 2013 07:07 AM PDT 26 May 2013 Last updated at 11:50 ET Footage shows Michael Adebolajo in court in Kenya in 2010 One of the suspects in the Woolwich murder case was arrested in Kenya in 2010, the Foreign Office has confirmed. It said Michael Adebolajo was arrested there and it gave consular assistance "as normal" in the circumstances. He was believed to have been preparing to fight with Somali militant group al-Shabab, a Kenyan government spokesman told the BBC, and was later deported. Meanwhile, police investigating soldier Lee Rigby's murder have arrested a 22-year-old man in north London. The arrest at Highbury Grove, on suspicion of conspiracy to murder, brings the total number made so far in the case to nine. And separately, a demonstration is being held at the murder scene by members of the English Defence League. CCTV footage The Kenyan government had previously denied that Mr Adebolajo had ever visited the country, but spokesman Muthui Kariuki said there had been some confusion as he was arrested under a different name. Mr Adebolajo was handed over to UK authorities when it emerged he was a British citizen, he added. In video footage of his court appearance which emerged on Sunday, Mr Adebolajo is heard to say: "These people are mistreating us, we are innocent." Islamist insurgent group al-Shabab is affiliated to al-Qaeda and is thought to have 7,000 to 9,000 fighters. It killed 76 people in a double bomb attack in Uganda as they watched the 2010 World Cup. Mr Adebolajo, 28, and a second man, Michael Adebowale, 22, were arrested on suspicion of the murder of soldier Lee Rigby in Woolwich on Wednesday. They remain in custody in hospital in a stable condition after being shot and wounded by police at the scene after the killing. The family of Drummer Lee Rigby, who was slain in Woolwich last week, visit the scene of his death Three further men, aged 21, 24 and 28, were arrested in London on Saturday evening on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder - a Taser was used on two of them. A 29-year-old man arrested earlier on suspicion of conspiracy to murder was released on bail on Saturday, while two women aged 29 and 31, arrested on Thursday, have been released without charge. In an update on Sunday, Metropolitan Police Deputy Assistant Commissioner Stuart Osborne said officers were examining CCTV footage, social media and forensic material as part of their investigation into Drummer Rigby's murder. He appealed for any associates of Mr Adebolajo and Mr Adebowale who believed they might have useful information to come forward. 'Right procedures' Earlier on Sunday, Home Secretary Theresa May told the BBC's Andrew Marr programme "500 officers and others" were working on the case, including counter-terrorism officers brought in from elsewhere in the country. Senior Whitehall sources have previously confirmed to the BBC both suspects arrested at the scene of Drummer Rigby's killing were already known to security services. Michael Adebowale was photographed brandishing a knife and speaking to a woman at the scene A friend of Mr Adebolajo, Abu Nusaybah, told the BBC's Newsnight on Friday that MI5 tried to recruit Mr Adebolajo as an operative after he returned from a trip to Kenya in 2012 - a request he rejected. Abu Nusaybah also told the BBC Mr Adebolajo was physically and sexually abused while in Kenyan custody, but government spokesman Muthui Kariuki denied the allegation. When asked if there were mistakes made by the security services in dealing with this case, Mrs May said: "What we have is the right procedures which say when things like this happen we do need to look at whether there are any lessons to be learned." She also said a new taskforce was being set up to look at whether new powers were needed to tackle extremism. It will be chaired by the prime minister and include senior cabinet ministers and security chiefs. In other developments: Members of Mr Rigby's family have visited the scene of his murder, laying flowers at the Woolwich Barracks where the 25-year-old soldier with the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers was based Prayers were said on Sunday at a service dedicated to Drummer Rigby at St Peter the Apostle Roman Catholic Church, in Woolwich, at a service at the town's St Mary Magdalene Parish Church and in his local church in his home town of Middleton, Greater Manchester French authorities are treating the stabbing of a soldier in a Paris suburb as terrorism and are investigating whether it was a copycat attack. Defence Minister Jean Yves Le Drian said Private First Class Cedric Cordier had been targeted by an unknown man because of his profession Mrs May also said "thousands" of people were potentially at risk of radicalisation in the UK and the government had introduced a new programme to help those who could be sucked in Former Conservative leader Michael Howard said the Tories could form a pact with Labour to push through the controversial Communications Data Bill, despite Lib Dem objections. The bill would give police and security services access to details of all online communication in the UK and supporters say it would help root out would-be terrorists

Obama to visit tornado hit Oklahoma town on Sunday - Reuters Posted: 26 May 2013 08:35 AM PDT U.S. President Barack Obama waves as he walks to Marine One to depart for a day trip from the South Lawn of the White House in Washington May 26, 2013.

Obama, who departed Washington on Sunday morning, is scheduled to witness the response effort in the storm-hit corridor and meet with members of affected families in a four-hour visit to the state. The tornado, which rated the most powerful on the five-step scale used to measure the destructive power of twisters, ripped a 17-mile (27-km) long corridor of destruction through the suburb of Oklahoma City, flattening entire blocks of homes, two schools and a hospital in some 50 minutes on May 20. It was the most powerful of a spate of 76 twisters that touched down in 10 states from May 18 through 20, causing an estimated $2 billion to $5 billion in insured losses, according to disaster modeling company Eqecat. Some 377 people were injured by the Moore tornado, the deadliest such windstorm to hit the United States in two years.
