The United States of America (US) has issued a serious warning to Kenya over potential terrorist attacks days after the US celebrated deadly terrorist attack anniversary.
According to reports, the US listed Kenya and Uganda as potential targets of the planned attacks with targeted institutions being embassies, hotels, shopping centres, markets, schools, and places of worship.
This comes just days after the world marked the 23rd anniversary of the September 11 attacks that happened in the United States, being the most deadly attack that was orchestrated against the US by deadly terrorist organisation.
In its advisory, the US pointed out that anniversaries like the Westgate Mall attack in Nairobi set to happen on September 21, 2013, and the October 7, 2001, Hamas attack on Israel being set to be marked as the potential attack days.
This comes just days after top security organs in the country revealed that they were working to avert a potential terrorist threat that was targeting the September 11 anniversary.

“We’ve done our work, and the public has been instrumental in ensuring that we remain safe,” noted one senior security official who preferred to remain anonymous in all this.
