The Growing Security Threat in Kenya

Terrorist attacks in Nairobi, Kenya, over the past year have become more complex and successful, complicating the security situation for the government. In less than a month there have been two bombings in Eastleigh, a predominantly Somali neighborhood of Nairobi. Both attacks triggered violence between the city's Kenyan and Somali populations. On top of other security problems in the country, the government has a lot to deal with ahead of elections in March 2013.
