U.S warns of possible terror attack in Mombasa-Kenya. All U.S Gov’t travel to Mombasa is suspended.

The U.S. embassy in Kenya on Saturday warned of the threat of an imminent attack on Mombasa and urged nationals to shun the country’s second city.

 “This is to alert all U.S. citizens in Kenya, or planning to travel to Kenya in the near future, that the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi has received information of an imminent threat of a terrorist attack in Mombasa, Kenya,” a statement said.

 “All U.S. government travel to Mombasa is suspended until July 1, 2012.”

 

The warning came as Kenyan police said they had detained two Iranian nationals over suspected links to a terror network planning bombings in Nairobi and Mombasa.
