Counter terrorism measures introduced in Kenyan airports
Security has been increased at Kenyan airports following reports that Al-Shabaab militants have planned to stage attacks.
Reports have shown up to eleven suicide bombers have trained for the mission in early March.
“The attacks mainly target domestic flights and operatives posing as passengers intend to blow themselves up during landing,” a leaked memo signed by head of security Eric Kiraithe said.
“Available information indicates that Al-Shabaab is still keen on attacking us targeting security installations, soft targets in the Northern Kenya Counties, in the Coast and other major cities,” said inspector general of police Joseph Boinnet.
As a result, security has been increased at airports across Kenya, with special counter terrorism measures in place.
