US warnings based on solid intelligence

It is quite disturbing that an explosive device went off in one of Mombasa’s social joints, just hours after Head of Public Service Francis Kimemia wrote a protest note to the US Government demanding that it reverses a travel advisory it had issued to all US citizens intending to visit Kenya.

What we read from this embarrassing incident, which has left the Government with an egg on the face, is that whoever is behind several bombing incidents in recent months, is quite organised, confident and appears to be ahead of Kenyan security forces in logistics, planning and intelligence.
