It’s come to our attention that al Queda-linked forces in Somalia were plotting to attack Hillary Clinton during her recent stay in Kenya. How did we miss this story? Did it just slip under the radar during the excitement of the town halls?
Here’s how The Australian reports it:
A planned series of bomb attacks set to take place in Nairobi, the capital of neighbouring Kenya, while Mrs Clinton was there – one in the hotel where she was staying – was foiled at the last minute, media reports, citing senior security officials, said.
“Al-Qa’ida wanted to strike at the heart of Nairobi (while Mrs Clinton was here),” the senior security official was quoted as saying, adding that Kenyan authorities intercepted communications between the plotters in war-ravaged Somalia and their operatives in Nairobi, which has a large emigre Somali population.
Five suspected al-Shabaab terrorists were arrested, including a man believed to be a Somali carrying a Danish passport. The four other suspects seized, including a woman, had what appeared to be false Kenyan identity documents, according to the reports.
Back off, Bandar. Cool it, Kamal. Just because we don’t like Hillary doesn’t give you a free assassination pass.
If this represents an Al Queda attempt to ‘bond’ with normal Americans, maybe you could poke fun at Hillary’s pants suits. Or laugh at the way President Obama has completely marginalized her.
We don’t like to make threats, but if you don’t stop we’ll get ourselves a real Secretary of State.
