A manhunt is said to be underway in Kenya for an al-Qaida operative.
Fazul Abdullah Mohammed is wanted for the attacks on the United States embassies in Kenya and Tanzania 10 years ago.
He allegedly evaded a police raid over the weekend in the coastal town of Malindi, where friends were reportedly hiding him.
Earlier this year Mohammed, who is from the Comoros Islands, reportedly survived a US missile attack on a hideout in Somalia.
The United States offered a reward of up to US$5 million for his arrest.
The police are interrogating three members of a family, who were hosting him in Malindi.
More than 250 people were killed during the bomb attack on the US embassy 10 years ago, which was planned by Mohammed.
