A British man accused of helping plan attacks in Kenya was sentenced to nine years in jail on Wednesday after being found guilty of trying to obtain a fake passport. Jermaine Grant, from east London, still faces terrorism-related charges in a trial in the Kenyan port city of Mombasa. Prosecutors say Grant has ties to Somali Islamist rebels al Shabaab, but he denies the charges. Grant is on trial with two co-defendants, his Kenyan female companion, Warda Islam, and Frank Nyengo, both of who deny the same charges and are out on bail. Another suspect, Fouad Abubakar, escaped after he had been released on bail
