Police said two suspects arrested on March 11 with a car bomb near a Mombasa mall were in contact with Shabaab militants in Somalia linked to the Westgate Mall attack. Security forces said two terrorists killed in a March 28 shootout in Likoni were Shabaab returnees involved in a “holy war” in retaliation for Kenya’s role in Somalia. Terrorists threw explosives at a food kiosk and a bus stop in Nairobi’s Eastleigh neighborhood, killing at least six people and injuring 10 more. A grenade maker in a house near the Al Bushraa Islamic Centre in Eastleigh died in a premature detonation. A grenade was found in a Lamu church on Sunday. Deputy President Ruto authorized security forces to shoot terrorists and said churches and mosques must not be used for extremism. Police have begun vetting airport workers.
