A Kenyan man who once told authorities he was part of an al-Qaida plot to blow up the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi is now facing charges in connection with last month's terror attacks in Uganda
Salmin Mohammed Khamis, 34, also was acquitted in 2005 in the bombing of a beachfront hotel, two years after he divulged the embassy plot. Khamis was never charged in connection with the embassy case and his statement to authorities was viewed by The Associated Press.
Under Kenyan law, a confession can only be acted on if it is made in front of a magistrate or judge. Confessions made during police interrogations are not admissible as evidence in court. Khamis was one of seven people acquitted in the 2002 bombing of an Israeli-owned hotel near Mombasa , Kenya
He also was acquitted of charges in connection with a failed attempt to shoot down an Israeli passenger plane leaving Mombasa
