April Fool: Kenya Cackle

Sounds crazy to me....

"5 killed in blasts in Somali area of Kenya capital" | Associated Press   April 01, 2014

NAIROBI — Explosions in central Nairobi killed at least five people and injured several others, Kenyan officials said Monday.

Not funny.

The explosions occurred in a neighborhood known for its large Somali population, the National Disaster Operation Center said on Twitter. Sometimes called Kenya’s ‘‘Little Mogadishu,’’ Eastleigh has seen several grenade attacks over the last year....

Kenya has suffered from a long string of grenade attacks presumed to be thrown by Somali militant sympathizers.

Also Monday, a Kenyan police official said two men arrested with a car bomb on Kenya’s coast nearly three weeks ago were in contact with plotters of the September terrorist attack on a Nairobi mall that killed at least 67 people.

That's when I started laughing.

The official said the vehicle targeting a shopping mall in Mombasa was packed with about 380 pounds of explosives.
