Iteere: Al Shabaab planning attacks
06 April 2012 By ATHMAN AMRAN
Al Shabaab militants are planning attacks during the Easter festivities, Police Commissioner Matthew Iteere has said.
"We have received an alert that the Al Shabaab are planning an attack during Easter," Iteere said during a press conference at Vigilance House in Nairobi Friday.
He said the police have intensified patrols all over the country, but urged security agencies manning public transport, hotels, businesses and crowded places to step up their security measures.
"We urge the public to be vigilant and immediately inform officers of any suspicious characters," Iteere said, adding that anybody can be a sympathiser of the terror outfit.
He said the threat to the security of the country from Al Shabaab attacks has been there since Kenya went to war against the outfit in Somalia last year.
"As a country there are sacrifices to be made. Attacks are expected to continue, but we will ensure Kenyans are safe," Iteere said.
