Kenya pays thousands to deport Jamaican cleric

Kenya paid more than US$500,000 or 322,000 Pounds to deport controversial Jamaican Muslim preacher Abdullah al-Faisal.

This is according to Immigration Minister Otieno Kajwang.

Al-Faisal was finally expelled last week on a chartered jet, after Kenya had spent three weeks trying to deport him.

Meanwhile, two immigration officials have been suspended for letting al-Faisal into the country in the first place.

The cleric spent four years in a UK jail for soliciting the murder of Jews and Hindus.

Kenya's attempts to deport him were blocked when several countries refused to grant him a transit visa and he was stranded in Nairobi.

He was held in detention while the authorities organised his expulsion - provoking rallies by Muslim groups which ended in clashes with police.

Earlier reports claimed a South African security firm had been drafted in to arrange the deportation.

Al-Faisal was deported from the UK in 2007 after spending four years in jail.

The British government said one of the July 7 London suicide bombers, Germaine Lindsay, was heavily influenced by the cleric.

Shoe-bomber Richard Reid is said to have visited mosques where he preached in the UK.

Al-Faisal arrived in Jamaica on Friday.
