Three Emiratis Are Not Linked to Tanzania Church Bombing

Abu Dhabi: A top government official says three Emiratis have been wrongly linked to a deadly bombing of a church in Tanzania contrary to newswire reports out of the African country.
A government source told Gulf News, “Authorities in the UAE have received confirmations through official channels that the investigations undertaken by security in Tanzania showed no connection between the three Emiratis in question and the bombing, which took place at a church in Arusha city during a mass service.”

The source said that “the UAE is following up with the three Emiratis through diplomatic channels ever since they were taken in for investigations at a police station close to the bombing site. The UAE embassy is awaiting their arrival as soon as the case is closed and they are released”.
According to media reports, the three unidentified Emiratis were taken into custody following Sunday’s bombing when they tried to cross the border.

Five Tanzanian nationals were also arrested for the attack which killed three people and injured as many as 60.

Aliyemkamata Mlipua Bomu Kanisani Anane Mazito

Mlipua Bomu
Kijana aliyemkimbiza  hadi kumkamata mtu anayedaiwa kuhusika na kulipua bomu katika Kanisa la Mtakatifu Joseph Mfanyakazi, Parokia ya Olasiti, jijini Arusha Jumapili iliyopita na kuua watu 3 na wengine zaidi ya 70 kujeruhiwa ameibuka.
Kijana huyo ambaye wakati akizungumza na watu mbalimbali wakiwemo waandishi wa habari jijini Arusha juzi alisahau kutaja jina lake, alisema kuwa shughuli ya kumnasa mtuhumiwa huyo haikuwa lelemama hata kidogo.
Alisema siku ya tukio baada ya bomu hilo kulipuliwa kanisani hapo, yeye alimwona mlipuaji huyo hivyo akaungana na watu wengine kumkimbiza.“Mtuhumiwa alikuwa akikimbia ujue, sisi tulimkimbiza bila kuogopa kama ana mabomu mengine kwenye mfuko. Alipoona hatukati tamaa, alifika kwenye shamba la miwa akajilaza, lakini mbwa waliokuwa na sisi walitusaidia sana,” alisema shujaa huyo.

Aliendelea kusema kuwa walipomdaka mtuhumiwa huyo walimkuta na mfuko wa rambo, walipochungulia ndani yake walishtuka, kumbe alikuwa na mabomu yaliyosalia!
Hata hivyo, alisema yeye na mabomu yake hawakumwachia na dakika chache wananchi wenye hasira kali walifika eneo hilo wakiwa na silaha za jadi wakitaka kumuua ndipo polisi walipofika eneo hilo na kumchukua mtuhumiwa huyo kwenda naye kituoni.

Baadhi ya wananchi waliozungumza na gazeti hili walisema kijana huyo amekuwa staa ghafla, hivyo wakaitaka serikali kumfikiria kwani ameonesha kitendo cha kishujaa.
“Huyu kijana amekuwa staa ghafla aisee, kitendo alichokifanya ni cha kishujaa, si rahisi, serikali ingemfikiria kwa lolote,” alisema mtu mmoja aliyejiita Massawe na kuungwa mkono na wenzake. GPL
