The East African affiliate of Al-Qaida still remains a potent threat.

First, no pictures, especially with IDs, should be distributed.
Second, better surveillance by ground or drone with snipers positioned 24/7.

We had a chance to wipe al_Shabab back when it began as a rag-tag outfit of extremists bent on utilizing terrorism to obtain their objectives, etc. We should have wiped them then.

The Kenya-Somalia border is the weak link and is poorly guarded and patrolled.
Very easy for attackers from Somalia to infiltrate the country without detection and rapid response.
The situation is tailor-made for al-Shabab to attack targets throughout Kenya with virtual impunity.
One unlikely to change significantly in the foreseeable future.

"Was OCommie and Jarrett directing the attack remotely?" You know she's up to her neck in something anti-American somewhere. She lives with the Obama's.

Al Shabab operates in Kenya in the context of tribal war between the Muslim tribes and the rest of Kenya.
Once Al Shabab awakens the wrath of the Kikuyu and those who hold the legacy of Jomo Kenyatta, Al Shabab followers will be skewered and roasted like pigs in public. The same happened in Ethiopia, which has ousted all of the jihadist mavens there in a horrid cleansing that hearkens back to their tribal warfare history.
The shared government between Muslims and Christians in Kenya will not be able to stop it.
