Iran denies fake terrorism intelligence document on social media

13 Apr 2015

The Iranian embassy has denied a fake intelligence document being shared on social media allegedly linking Raila to runaway insecurity in Kenya. The embassy has stated that the document did not originate from them thus leaving it to be mere propaganda.

This comes after an Iranian diplomat revealed that the Iranian government had informed Kenyan security intelligence about an impending attack, more than one week before the massacre at the Garissa University College.

"We also established that key officials within the Kenyan government received the intelligence on or about March 22, showing that the planned attack was to target Christian gatherings on university towns," he said.

A student at Garissa Teachers Training College confirmed in an interview with that the institution’s administration alerted students of a possible terror attack in Garissa.

Meanwhile, ODM’s Director of communications, Philip Etale, has dismissed the document doing rounds on social media as cheap PR by Jubilee.

"Even a primary school kid knows that Jubilee has failed in security, they should not write a circular that is not authentic and let it go round on social media," he was quoted to have said of the government propaganda.
