Arusha. The Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) is not investigating the recent grenade attack on an opposition party rally at Soweto grounds in Arusha, the US embassy in Dar es Salaam has said.
The Public Affairs Officer, Ms Dana Banks, denied police reports that FBI investigators were involved in probing the June 15 attack in which four people were killed and scores others injured. "The FBI is not involved in the investigation into the attack at the Chadema political rally," Ms Banks said in an email response to an inquiry by The Citizen on Saturday.
"Questions regarding this investigation should be directed to the Tanzania Police Force." The embassy's position raises questions about police efforts to unravel the truth and arrest suspects in the two bomb attacks in Arusha. The revelation also leaves the police in an awkward position because they told reporters in Arusha last week that the FBI team was on the ground helping with the investigations.
Asked yesterday about the puzzling turn of events, Regional Police Commander Liberatus Sabas appeared to recant his remarks and said the FBI were only asked to investigate a similar grenade attack at a Catholic Church where three people were killed and over 50 others seriously injured.
