NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) - Islamic extremists in Somalia are threatening to stage suicide bombings in parts of East Africa, the U.S. Embassy said Thursday in the latest warning that conflict in Somalia could spread in this volatile region.
Now are we convinced that these jokers are the Taliban of Africa? | The embassy, in a warning to Americans living or traveling in Kenya, said it had received reports of "extremist elements" targeting Kenya, Ethiopia and other "surrounding countries," which it did not identify. "These threats specifically mention the execution of suicide explosions in prominent landmarks within Kenya and Ethiopia. American citizens are advised to remain vigilant and to use extreme caution when frequenting prominent public places," the statement said. |
