Kenya: Confusion is raging over claims Al Shabaab carried out the Sunday and Monday attacks in Mpeketoni, Lamu County, after President Uhuru Kenyatta absolved the terror group and said politicians were behind it.

Even as police arrested a Kenyan they said used the twitter account, @HSMPress_ to tweet Al Shabaab’s claims, the respected Bloomberg News reported yesterday that a man claiming to be Sheikh Abdulaziz Abu Musab, spokesman for the terror group’s military wing, said they carried out the attacks.
