Intelligence sources indicate, they have received credible information regarding a possible attack on Nairobi hotels and prominent Kenyan government buildings. Timing of the attack is not known, however, the source has reason to believe that the potential attack is in the last stages of planning. Last month – 300 Alshabab members graduated shortly before the KDF attack and some might be used outside Somalia for missions. The incident at JKIA might be linked to such revenge at small scale. Two weeks ago at the JKIA, at arrivals a bag with explosive was left in a toilet but was later taken away by the police before it exploded. In view of this, all Staff should be extremely vigilant with regard to their personal security, particularly in public places frequented by foreigners such as clubs, hotels, resorts, upscale shopping centers, restaurants, and places of worship. Staff should also remain alert in residential areas, and at outdoor recreational events. Avoid potential symbolic places e.g. Kencom, Key installation (Government installation) and crowded areas. Stay safe.
