“Soldiers found 100 kg of highly explosive TNT in their vehicle along with six suicide vests.” This looks as if the jihadis were planning another large scale mass murder attack, a la the Westgate Mall jihad massacre.
“Kenyan military kill five militants, seize TNT explosives,” by Joseph Akwiri, Reuters, October 20, 2014:
MOMBASA, Oct 20 (Reuters) – Kenyan soldiers have killed five suspected al Shabaab militants near the border with Ethiopia and recovered a vehicle packed with explosives, preventing a potentially huge attack, a defence spokesman said on Monday.
Kenyan forces intercepted the five men in their car on Saturday in the northern frontier town of Moyale, and ordered them to stop, spokesman Bongita Ongeri said. The militants opened fire and were killed in the shootout.
Soldiers found 100 kg of highly explosive TNT in their vehicle along with six suicide vests.
“Those were chemicals that would be used to make dangerous explosives capable of mass destruction,” Ongeri told Reuters….
The incident came just days after the U.S. Embassy in Ethiopia warned of a possible attack by al Shabaab there, and urged its nationals to avoid large crowds and hotels and restaurants in an upscale district of the Ethiopian capital.
It was not clear if the militants had precise plans for an attack in Kenya, but the shootout came as Kenyans were preparing to celebrate a holiday on Monday in honour of those who fought for its independence.

This must be crushing to Obama.
Family ( and loyalty?) to Kenya. And yet, Muslims POSSIBLY palnning to do an attack on a Kenyan holiday, marking its independence.
Should he be happy 9attack crrushed- Kenya could have its celebration) or sad ( his fellow Muslims were killed)?
problems.

He wouldn’t have to feel torn—Kenyan Muslims are largely in sympathy with the Somali Jihadists. And why not? Same vicious creed…
Wtf? says
Good news:)
The boys look so happy in the picture, just out taking shots at frothing Muslims. I love good news stories!

………………………….
I’m glad the Jihadists were intercepted before their next atrocity. Of course, they will just use this apprehension as their latest “grievance” against Kenya.
Jay Boo says
And the UN will try to find fault with the government instead of Muslims with full support of liberal media like Al Jazeera sponsored NPR.
Oliver says
Actually, I think the media, Kerry, Shillery, Nobrainer and the lame stream media will blame Israel and George Bush, perhaps even both Bush’s.
I am surprised they haven’t been blaming Pres. Reagan, or former VP Quayle for ISIS, terrorists, etc.
Kepha says
I don’t think Kenya means squat to the O. Along with everyone and everything else in his life, it got used to build an interesting image–the exotic appeal of Kenyan origins is one of the things the O’s agent and publisher used to market his first book. It was the thing that started the kerfluffle of the O’s Kenyan birth.
Has the O ever filed a petition for one of his Kenyan sibs to immigrate? Has he given a wooden nickel to his half-brother George who lives in poverty in Nairobi? My guess is his aunt and uncle were allowed to stay and game the system, albeit illegally, because ICE would’ve been too embarrassed to do anything about it; not because of the O’s orders.
Jay Boo says
I wouldn’t be surprised if OB’s Kenyan kinfolk originally came for Somalia as refugees seeking assistance.
Kepha says
Actually, they’re Luo, from near Lake Victoria, and hence of a tribe that had a line placing them squarely within what would become Kenya when a bunch of European diplomats with blank maps and crayons decided that Africa would look like back in the 1880’s or thereabouts. This being said, I think that the O is probably about the worst president in my lifetime, even though Dhimmi Caduh is probably a very close second.

“Kenyan soldiers have killed five suspected al Shabaab militants”
Thank God these soldiers don’t follow the U.S. suicidal “rules of engagement”!!!
Jerry says
Islam is a malignant disease.
Charli Main says
Muslims are brainwashed, almost from birth, that if they kill infidels, Allah will take them to Paradise and give them a herd of sexy female goats, little boys as sweet as pearls and women that have their virginity miraculously restored after they have done the ” deed”.
These brainwashed Muslim retards can´t wait to die and claim their reward from Allah. Its probably easier to reform a raving psychopath than a Muslim fanatic.
