Lamu police are on high alert following the entry of nine suspected Al Shabaab terrorists from Somalia.
The aliens are suspected to include foreign fighters, who entered Kenya from Burgavo and other small towns in Somalia’s Lower Juba region, and have been forced out by Kenya’s military offensive in the these parts, and the disintegration of Al Shabaab.
The police alert is bad news for the fledgling tourism industry, which was battered last year following the abduction and murder of British and French tourists in Manda, and Kiwayu islets, a few kilometers by sea from the area where the militants are believed to be hiding.
