Authorities in Mombasa, assisted by the FBI, have arrested two Somalis, Izak Noor and Abdiaziz Abdi, suspected of planning suicide bombings in Mombasa county. A third suspect was arrested today, and security has been heightened following a warning from Uganda that Shabaab was planning an attack involving oil tankers. Police also seized explosive devices from the suspects’ car, and are trying to track down the car’s owner. Kenyan intelligence has learned that Shabaab militants are operating at least six shops in downtown Nairobi.
