Kenya´s National Security Intelligence Service have alerted Tanzanian authorities over Al-Qaeda East Africa linkman and suspected master mind of the August 7, 1998 bombing of US Embassies in Dar es Salaam and Nairobi, Fazul Abdul Mohammed.

The notice issued yesterday came as Kenyan police widened the search for Al-Qaeda mastermind to Nairobi and Malindi towns.

Fazul escaped a security dragnet to arrest him in the Kenya coastal town of Malindi. The suspect arrived in Malindi from Somalia.

He is said to be having a kidney ailment. Anti-terrorist police stormed his hideout where they found two passports bearing his photographs but with two different names, and a laptop.
