Kenyan 'Mungiki' Snuff Clan Arrested
Reports coming out of Kenya state that there have been several arrests in connection with a spate of beheadings on the outskirts of Nairobi. The people arrested are believed to be members of or are associated with 'Mungiki', which is a religious cult or sect believed to have been formed in 1988 with the aim of toppling the government of immediate former president of Kenya, Daniel Torotich arap Moi.
