Anxiety gripped Kitui and Mwingi towns and surrounding environs when photographs of two suspected Al-Shabaab militiamen were published in The Standard on Monday.

The residents claimed that the two men, Ali Mohammed Rage and Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweis, were frequently spotted in the towns.

"We know these men. They are not new in Kitui and Mwingi towns. One of them runs a business," a resident who requested anonymity said.

Kitui Central DC Joshua Chepcheing' confirmed the people's concerns but said no positive identification had been made.

"I have information that the two men in the photographs look familiar but I can't say with certainty they are the ones people claim roam the town. They may be the ones or not," the DC told the Press in his office.

Volatile border

He called on the residents to be more vigilant and report suspicions characters suspected to be Al-Shabaab. The DC warned that Kitui County bordered the volatile North Eastern Province where some residents have been found to have close links with the terrorists.

"Locals must play their patriotic duty of helping the Government root out the terror network. The business community must support the military action in Somalia by cooperating with the police to stop members of the terror network from sneaking into the county and the country," he said.

The administrator asked owners of guesthouses to keep identity records of all visitors and urged them to report suspicious clients to the police.

Watu wasiopungua 64 wamepoteza maisha yao nchini Somalia kufuatia mashambulio ya anga ya jeshi la Kenya katika nchi hiyo ya Pembe ya Afrika ambayo yanalenga kupambana na kundi la wanamgambo wa ash Shabab. Mashambulio hayo ya makombora yametekelezwa na ndege za kijeshi za Kenya jirani na mji wa kusini wa Afmadow na kwamba, zaidi ya watu 130 wamejeruhiwa pia katika mashambulio hayo. Habari zinasema kuwa jeshi la Kenya limesonga mbele ndani ya ardhi ya Somalia umbali wa zaidi ya kilomita mia moja na kuteka miji kadhaa iliyokuwa chini ya udhibiti wa kundi la wanamgambo wa ash Shabab na kwamba, sasa jeshi hilo linaulenga mji wa kistratijia wa Afmadow unaodhibitiwa na waasi wa ash Shabab. Jeshi la serikali ya mpito ya Somalia pia linasonga mbele kuelekea mji huo na imepangwa kuwa majeshi ya nchi hizo mbili yatashirikiana kuteka mji wa Kismayu ulioko umbali wa kilomita 120 kutoka Afmadow ambao ni makao makuu ya kiuchumi ya kundi la wanamgambo wa ash Shabab.[/TD]

At least one person was killed Monday evening and 13 others injured in a second explosion to hit Nairobi in 24 hours.


The 8pm explosion was believed to have been a grenade hurled at a moving matatu near a crowded terminus between Race Course and Landhies roads in Nairobi.


The injured were taken to Kenyatta National Hospital for treatment as security officers drawn from the General Service Unit and the police cordoned off the scene opposite the former Jack and Jill Supermarket.

The covered body of the dead person was still at the scene when the Nation team arrived.


Witnesses said the grenade was thrown at a matatu full of passengers, but bounced off its window and exploded in a crowd of people rushing to board buses.

A police officer, who sought anonymity, said they had collected the remains of the explosive device, which they identified as a hand grenade.

The Kaka matatu terminus serves the Kiambu, Githunguri and Ndumberi routes and is close to St Peter Claver’s Church, the Salvation Army Church and is only a few metres from the normally crowded OTC stage, which serves matatus to Nairobi’s Eastlands.

The last explosion at the OTC was the failed assassination attempt against then popular Nyandarua North MP JM Kariuki in 1975





The explosion came hardly 24 hours after another hand grenade was hurled into a night club along Mfangano Lane in the city, injuring 14 people.


One of those injured in the second blast was taken to theatre in bad state. Most of the victims sustained injuries on their legs.

Following the two explosions, Internal Security PS Francis Kimemia announced a ban on fireworks displays during Diwali and Christmas festivities.

A major crackdown on illegal Somali immigrants was also under way in the country on Monday.

Arrests were reported in Malindi and Nakuru with some of those seized already charged in court.

Disowning operation

In Nairobi’s Eastleigh area, a suburb which has been nicknamed “little Mogadishu” because of the large number of Somali residents from Kenya and Somalia, tension was high.

If the history of war teaches us anything, it's that invading a foreign country is dicey. Storming across too many borders was the undoing of many of the world's great conquerors, from Alexander the Great to Napoleon to the Nazis. The last few decades of US foreign policy - Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq - only underline how tricky invasions are, even for the most powerful. The last 20 years have also seen Somalia emerge with a particularly consistent record of chewing up anyone who arrives carrying a gun, including the U.N. and U.S. special operations troops (1992-3), Ethiopians (2006-9) and Ugandans and Burundians from an African Union peacekeeping force (2008-today).

So what does Kenya think it's doing? On Sunday, a force estimated variously at a few hundred to 2,000 Kenyan soldiers crossed the border into Somalia into pursuit of militants from the Somali Islamist group, al-Shabab. The invasion came after a rash of armed incursions into Kenya from Somalia. On Sept. 11, Somali gunmen killed British tourist David Tebbutt, 58, and abducted his wife Judith, 56, from a resort on the northern Kenyan coast. In a second attack on a nearby beach hotel on Oct. 1, another group of Somali gunmen kidnapped a 66-year-old disabled French tourist, Marie Dedieu, who was confirmed dead on Wednesday. And then on Oct. 13, a third group of kidnappers took two Spanish aid workers from Dadaab, a camp in northern Kenyan -- the biggest refugee settlement in the world, set up 20 years ago for those fleeing fighting and famine in Somalia.

Starting a war is not an obvious way to bolster a country's reputation for safety and security. Starting a war with an al-Qaeda affiliate who have previously carried out attacks abroad (in Kampala in July 2010 two al-Shabab suicide bombers killed 76 people) and who have been itching for an excuse to do the same to you carries even more obvious risks. But starting a war in which your invading forces are outnumbered from the beginning (al-Shabab has around 2,500 men at arms), and doing that just as the rainy season starts, is bat crazy.

Sure enough, by Wednesday the Kenyans and their Somali allies were stuck in torrential rains and thick mud 20 miles short of their first objective of the al-Shabab-ruled town Afmadow. Even if the occupiers can extract themselves from the literal quagmire, analysts unanimously agree they will find it all but impossible to avoid becoming militarily bogged down. Faced with al-Shabab's well-armed, experienced and more numerous guerrillas - fighters who two years ago saw off a far fiercer, better trained and bigger Ethiopian force - Kenya's soldiers seem headed for deadlock at best and, at worst, bloody defeat. What's worse, the Kenyan invasion seems likely to reunify al-Shabab just as it was in danger of splintering over disagreements about leadership and whether to accept aid to alleviate an ongoing famine in southern Somalia. It could even help restore al-Shabab's plummeting local support.

History may be littered with warnings about just this kind of action but still, rarely has disaster been so plainly foretold. As an al-Shabab spokesman, Ali Mohamud Rage, told the BBC, while vowing retaliatory attacks on Nairobi: "Kenya doesn't know war. We know war. We have fought against governments older and stronger than Kenya and we have defeated them."

Believe me, these forums have got US fundings and there are several of their agents in.One of them is this Askari.They are bent to inflame the fighting in the region.
America knows all the terror attacks in advance and Kenya has got ambulances around the places shortly before the attack.
Shame on you African nations fighting frail hungry muslims with American support from air.Yaa Allah be with us and save us froms their fitna.
