A British terror suspect has been deported to the UK after completing a lengthy prison sentence in Kenya. Jermaine Grant, 41, was arrested in London on Thursday after arriving on a flight from Kenya’s capital, Nairobi.

He was jailed in 2011 after bomb-making equipment was discovered in his flat in Mombasa, a Kenyan coastal city. Grant is thought to have shared the flat with Samantha Lewthwaite, who is dubbed the “White Widow” and is wanted in connection with London’s 7/7 bombings.

After he was arrested in 2011, Kenyan police accused Grant of plotting to bomb tourist hotels on the country’s coast. In 2019, a court acquitted him of conspiracy over the alleged plot, but convicted him of possessing bomb-making materials.

On Friday, the UK’s Metropolitan Police confirmed that Grant had been detained in London under the Terrorism Act.
