Kenyan media are reporting that unknown gunmen have attacked the house of Kenya's deputy president moments after he left to campaign with the president for re-election in the Aug. 8 vote. It's unclear who the gunmen are but police sources say the siege has ended. Analysts have been worried about violence around the election. The Islamist extremist group Al-Shabab this week threatened to disrupt the vote. Al-Shabab has carried out more than 100 attacks in Kenya since 2011 in retribution for the country sending troops in to Somalia, where the extremists are based.
