@Injere, I beg to differ. We must refrain from looking at security from a business perspective but must look at business from a security angle. Look at Lamu, now peaking up after the initial down turn. We must not be cowed, @Jason very right we must be prepared to go the whole hog of it cost notwithstanding we cannot lose this one for sure. If we give in an inch, you know what they'll take a yard and more.

The target and time of attack, if it was from the al shabab could be a pointer to their getting rudderless. These attacks might however happen again in the short run but so long as the group is suppressed at their strongholds in Somalia, their entry into Kenya cut to nil, and their sympathisers from within smoked out, then their end is nigh.

@Rahatupu - I agree. We should however know where to stop and cut our losses. The enemy has nothing to lose; the same cannot be said of us! They are in it for fame and blagging rights for all they care! We have an economy to run and a future to protect. My take is, let's push back as much as necessary, we are the only ones who have a dog to protect in this fight!

Avoid crowded places when and if you can....this is a war and we will be targeted by the enemy but God Bless Kenya!!

Im not scared personally, bt I fear for those who may panic. This is war, and all Kenyans must brace themselves for more possibly deadly hits. This, as the shebab stronghold and structure is obliterated. Its only for a while. We survived the deadly PEV, and we will surely survive a few cowardly explosions. Go Kenya Go.

Food for thought!

This theory right here could be true....but what are the eye witnesses saying?? Have they gotten the physical description of the culprit?

Sigh* its a hard time being a Somali in this country of yours.

the kebabs can do more than throw a puny grenade into a pub..

hii ni kazi ya GwOKo.

this is my warning to kenyans.. just like there WMDs in iraq... puny GwOKo will have to have something to justify its presence in Somalia...

i do not even swallow the bit about 3 tourists being kidnapped..

that lady, the french one was a resident/local more than a tourist..

now an ineffective intelligence that was unable to feed adequate info to avoid machetes in 2007/8

how would they fare against a more secretive organization..

the media of course is playing with the state on this campaign to spread fear..

I think the gament should ban those things for now.
I met one in town this morning covered to the mouth,I almost scampered for safety.
