Farah Ahmed Hirsi, 41, surrendered a day after police released his picture and name to the public, police spokesman Eric Kiraithe said. "We have received the man who was produced here and he said he is the person in the picture," Kiraithe told reporters. Hirsi's lawyers said he decided to turn himself in after seeing his picture in the media, but protested his innocence. "Our client categorically denies any involvement in the heinous criminal act and condemns the same," said his lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi. "He has already spoken to the head of anti-terrorism (police unit) and will ... help the police in the investigation. He has nothing to hide and is willing to give them all information they require. He is innocent in this matter." On Monday, a blast went off a few hundred metres (yards) from where a truck bomb ripped through the US embassy in 1998, killing 213 people in an attack claimed by <http://search.news.yahoo.com/search/news/?p=Osama+bin+Laden> Osama bin Laden's Al-Qaeda network. Kenya has been on alert since January when the government said suspected Islamist militia accused of links to extremist groups may have fled there following fighting in neighbouring Somalia. The same month, the United States warned its citizens in Kenya of possible reprisals by terrorist groups after Somali Islamists were ousted from power at the beginning of the year. East Africa has seen several Al-Qaeda-linked attacks in recent years, including the near-simultaneous bombings of the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in August 1998, which killed 224 people and injured some 5,000. Al-Qaeda-affiliated attackers bombed an Israeli-owned resort hotel near Mombasa in November 2002, killing 15 civilians.
