Kenya anger at terror alerts
Foreign nationals living in Kenya have reportedly been warned that suicide bombers may be planning attacks in the capital Nairobi, with two hotels in the city centre having been singled out as potential targets. According to the BBC News website, armed police are now patrolling areas of the city and there have been a number of security alerts. The website reports that one warning came from the American embassy, which said there had been tip-offs about attacks on the Hilton and Stanley hotels, and that the United Nations has told its staff not to visit the city centre. However, the Kenyan Government has criticised the United States for issuing the advice, saying there was “no cause for alarm”. A spokesman added: “Kenya is still a safe destination to be in and to visit. All out systems are on high alert and ready to respond to any threat, real or imagined.” As reported, suicide bombers attacked a hotel in the resort town of Mombasa last year, while an Israeli airliner was targeted by gunmen shortly afterwards. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) has not issued any new advice relating to Kenya. For the full BBC report visit http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/3292121.stm.
