Terror Threat in Kenya

• Views: 1,152

The US Embassy in Nairobi has been closed due to a terror threat against “a specific target.”

The warning, issued Thursday by the Defense Intelligence Agency, is based on specific information about a threat against a specific target, the official said, speaking only on condition of anonymity.

Details of the warning, including the target and the nature of the threat, are classified secret, the official said.

The official would not say whether the target was the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi.

There are four terrorism warning levels; “high” is the highest of the four.

Kenya and other countries in the Horn of Africa have been a focus of U.S. counterterrorism efforts for many months. A special U.S. military task force has been operating in the Horn of Africa since late last year.
