A radical Islamic sect based in Somalia and linked to al-Qaida and based in Somalia plotted to kill US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during her trip to Africa last month, according to The Australian newspaper.

The plot was to be carried out through a planned series of bomb attacks set to take place in Nairobi, the capital of neighboring Kenya, while Clinton was there - one in the hotel where she was staying. The plot was foiled at the last minute, media reports, citing senior security officials, said.

According to yesterday's reports, al-Shabaab, which is viewed as increasing regional threat in Africa, planned three attacks in Nairobi while the US Secretary of State was there.

There were to be major bomb blasts in the hotel where Clinton and her entourage were staying, as well as at another major hotel and a transport hub.

I doubt even a close call would make the dems see that the jihadists could careless about the One’s nice intentions.

He'll probably want to hold talks with them to see why they're upset with the US, and apoligize for being such a bad country.

B S!

I will believe it when someone credible with a name attached says it happened.

That’s what happens when you lose credibility.

On the current White House foreign policy front, The Messiah is too preoccupied at the present moment trying to turn Honduras into Venezuela to bother with Islamic terrorists; its a matter of priorities, we can’t let a free and democratic country in Central America stand, could we now?

I wonder if "Enhanced Interrogation Techniques" were used to foil that plot!
