Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Kenya: Islamic jihadists murder three in two new bus attacks in Nairobi

May 4, 2014 4:39 pm By Robert Spencer

Residents assist an injured passenger from the scene of a bus explosion along the Thika super-highway in Kenya's capital NairobiClosely following the jihadists’ bus attacks in Mombasa come these new jihad attacks. Islamic jihadists in Kenya as well as in Nigeria are increasingly aggressive and bloodthirsty, apparently aware that the governments in those countries are unable or unwilling to stop them. And the global “human rights community” turns a blind eye — after all, it isn’t as if this were an outbreak of “Islamophobia.”

“Three people killed in bus blasts on second day of violence in Kenya,” Reuters, May 4, 2014 (thanks to Thomas Pellow):

(Reuters) – At least three people were killed when two buses driving on a busy highway in the Kenyan capital Nairobi were struck by explosive devices on Sunday, the day after attacks in Mombasa.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility but Kenya has blamed similar attacks on the al Qaeda-linked Somali group al Shabaab, which killed at least 67 people at the Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi last September.

“So far three people have been confirmed dead, one was killed at the scene and two died in hospital,” Moses Ombati, the deputy police commander for Nairobi told Reuters.

“The final report will be known later tonight or tomorrow, once we check with all the hospitals.”

More than 60 wounded – at least 20 of them in critical condition – were taken to various hospitals with shrapnel injuries and torn limbs, medical officials said.

Somali Islamist militants have been carrying out such attacks in retaliation for Kenya’s intervention in neighbouring Somalia in October 2011. The militants want Kenya to withdraw its troops, but Kenya has rejected their demand.

Sunday’s blasts came a day after twin explosions in the port city of Mombasa on the Indian Ocean, a tourist magnet.

Four people were killed in the Mombasa attacks when attackers threw an explosive device at passengers at a bus station, and also targeted a luxury hotel in the coastal city.

On Sunday, blood and broken glass littered the road where the two buses stood about one km from each other. Both were heading out of town along Thika Super Highway, which connects the capital to the outskirts of the city.

Police believed that the attackers had planted improvised explosive devices inside the buses, posing as passengers….

Kenyans took to Twitter to express their anger over the attacks, demanding that police be more vigilant and telling al Shabaab that there would be no compromise.

    A reprise:

    – KENYA, Al Shabaab Islamic jihad massacre of bus passengers, three weeks ago:-

    “REVENGE OF THE WHITE WIDOW:
    7/7 monster Samantha Lewthwaite linked to NIGERIA bombing.
    “WHITE WIDOW Samantha Lewthwaite may be the terror mastermind behind a horrific attack in Nigeria today which left 71 dead and hundreds wounded.”

    A BRIEF VISIT of the SONGBIRD

    Truth is like a morning songbird resting in the palm of the hand.
    It sings such sweet songs of joy and love and freedom
    throughout all of Islam’s vast wasteland.

    Truth is like an innocent songbird resting in the palm of the hand.
    Peaceful and sweet, during the pious call to prayer it competes.
    Now you know the true reason that all Muslims must — before morning prayers wash clean their bloodied hands.

      “Peaceful and sweet, during the pious call to prayer it competes.”

      I hate to disrupt this sweet songbird, but I think we have another competitor during the “pious” call to prayer:

      Narrated Abu Huraira:
      Allah’s Apostle said, “When the Adhan (call to prayer) is pronounced Satan takes to his heels and PASSES WIND WITH NOISE during his flight in order not to hear the Adhan.”
      Bukhari 1.11.582
