This attack on a bus stop, and a grenade thrown into a nightclub, follow threats from al-Shabaab in response to a Kenyan military operation (rumored to have Western support) in southern Somalia, which was launched after cross-border kidnappings on Kenyan territory.
The U.S. embassy in Nairobi warned Saturday of an "imminent" threat of attacks on Nairobi, but neither of these are al-Shabaab's main event. The group has increasingly turned to suicide bombings in recent weeks, and these smaller attacks only leave Kenyans to wonder when or if the other shoe is going to drop as the Somali jihadists seek to become "victorious with terror" (Sahih Bukhari 4.52.220).
"Kenya: Second explosion in Nairobi," from BBC News, October 24:
A blast has gone off at a bus stop in Kenya's capital, Nairobi, killing at least one person, police say.
An earlier grenade attack on a bar in the city wounded 12 people.
The attacks happened two days after the US embassy in Kenya warned that an attack by Islamist militants from neighbouring Somalia was imminent.
But Kenyan Police Commissioner Matthew Iteere said there was no evidence linking the nightclub attack to the militants from the al-Shabab group.
The Kenyan government sent troops to Somalia more than a week ago to pursue the militants after accusing them of being behind a spate of abductions on its territory.
Al-Shabab, which is linked to al-Qaeda and controls much of southern and central Somalia, denies involvement in the kidnappings but has warned of reprisals if Kenyan troops do not withdraw from Somalia.
There is also the possibility that these acts are copycat attacks, possibly by sympathizers within Kenya who want in on the action.
Police said the explosion on Monday evening occurred at the OTC bus terminal in downtown Nairobi, which is usually a busy part of the city.
Kenya's Red Cross said on its Twitter feed that eight casualties had been rushed to Kenyatta National Hospital.
In the early hours of Monday morning a man threw a grenade into the Mwauras nightclub and fled the scene, witnesses said. No-one has claimed responsibility for the attack.
The BBC's Will Ross in Nairobi says last December three people died during a grenade attack at a bus in Nairobi. It was never clear who was behind it.
Our correspondent adds that although both attacks were small, they will nevertheless cause a great deal of anxiety in Kenya.
From the article - "although both attacks were small, they will nevertheless cause a great deal of anxiety in Kenya."
What needs to happen, is that these attacks should cause not *anxiety* but anger.
Plain old white-hot righteous anger, focused like laser-beams on those who perpetrate the violence and those who shelter, enable and make excuses for them, and those who incite them by sermons in the mosques.
And that anger needs to be illuminated by knowledge - knowledge of what Islam teaches its followers to do to non-Muslims.
English is one of Kenya's official languages.
Does anybody know how to get copies of Mr Spencer's books, and of Mark Durie's two books - Revelation: Do We Worship the Same God?, and 'The Third Choice: Islam, Dhimmitude and Freedom' - into high school libraries, municipal libraries, university and college and theological college libraries, and other places where intelligent, literate Kenyans who can read English are likely to hang out?
Do we have anybody reading here who has contacts with missionary or church organisations in Kenya and could slip them copies of these books?
The awful truth is that every Mohammedan resident on Kenyan soil - like every Mohammedan resident within every *other* majority-non-Muslim country - is either an actual or a potential Fifth Columnist.
The Ummah, or Mohammedan Mob, is the sheltering sea within which the jihadists swim and from which, ceaselessly, they emerge.
This attack on a bus stop, and a grenade thrown into a nightclub, follow threats from al-Shabaab in response to a Kenyan military operation (rumored to have Western support) in southern Somalia, which was launched after cross-border kidnappings on Kenyan territory.

And they were kidnapping aid workers *who were feeding starving Somalis*.
There is never any gratitude to Infidels for helping Muslims beyond that of the rare individual—pious Muslims just see them as targets for kidnapping and murder.
The other message—to Kenyans, but, really, to *all* Infidels is this: resist Jihad, and we will wage Jihad on you—while claiming we were provoked.
God, I hate Islam.
