#1 A planned series of bomb attacks set to take place in Nairobi, the capital of neighbouring Kenya, while Mrs Clinton was there - one in the hotel where she was staying - was foiled at the last minute, media reports, citing senior security officials, said.

Possible Clinton's 2012 campaign translation:

Having survived numerous assassination attempts overseas, I too am a veteran of the war on terror. I was nearly killed by radical bombers during my recent trip to Kenya. My ears are still ringing. Snipers, bombers, I've been there, done that. No, I am the Secretary of State, they were trying to kill ME! My husband was in Vegas, having a good time.

#2 Not a great fan of Hillary, but if this is true, then that means that we need to espect multiple attempts on our people, and the CIA, FBI, Secret Service and others to be named later, got to get it right all the time. The bad guys only got to get it right once.
