Yesterday the US Embassy in Nairobi put out an alert that "credible information" indicates that "Westerners may be targeted by extremists in Nairobi, Naivasha, Nanyuki" and the Coast (see P8). The Nairobi embassy may be over-reacting in the absence of the experienced ambassador Bob Godec who ended his tour in Kenya last week. The only way to respect such a blanket warning is by leaving Kenya, or not coming to Kenya. This alert is so general as to be almost useless.
