Islamic State in Kenya, for real or just hot air?

Looks Kenya is in deep deep trouble for next century because for now it looks there is no feasible solution to Islamic extremism.

It is going to get more complicated as it is nearly impossible to maintain eternal vigilance.

That guy must have been mentally disturbed.  I seriously doubt he was a terrorist.  A knife attack on GSU at the US embassy seems like the last thing any terrorist group worth the name would carry out.

All of them are mentally disturbed and suicidal. You saw three woman attacking a police station with bare knives. The attack on US embassy however small is guaranteed to capture international news...so they know what they were doing.
