Kenyan police thwart terror threat

Police in Kenya foiled the final stages of a plan for a major terrorist attack in the country, officials said today, arresting two people with explosive devices and a cache of weapons.

Boniface Mwaniki, the head of Kenya’s anti-terrorism police unit, said the two men arrested in a Somali immigrant area of Nairobi last night are suspected to have links with an al-Qaida-linked Somali militant group.
