Coincidence that it's the 15th anniversary of the U.S. Embassy bombings in Nairobi?

It could be a coincidince. Of course Al Shabaab has taken to more suicide bombings since Kenya invaded Somalia and they started losing a lot of ground.

Sounds like Ayman al-Zawahiri had to find an alternative target to attack and the International Terminal at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport was it....

damn ... where’s my give-a-shit meter ? Let's see if this helps:
Kenya was a major backer of South Sudan's successful rebellion against Bashar the Butcher and his Islamic regime. In GWB's time we were actually smuggling tanks from Eastern Europe to South Sudan through Kenya. As a fun side note one of the ships full of tanks was hijacked by Somali pirates.
Al Shabaab, the Al Qaeda group in Somalia mostly led by non-Somali Arabs, has been severely hurt by Kenya invading southern Somalia at the same time Ethiopia invaded from the west. Al Shabaab is responsible for several terrorist attacks on the United States. As a bonus the US has been fighting a covert drone war in Somalia.
The people of Kenya have rejected Obama's cousin Odinga for president ... twice. That puts them two up on us.

A “massive” fire in the arrivals hall? What’s to burn? Every time I went through there, you would be hard pressed to find anything combustible, unless you brought your own fuel and ignition source...
