Kenya's Prime Minister Raila Odinga is seeking Israel's support in stopping reprisal terror attacks by an al-Qaeda-linked militant group Kenyan troops are pursuing in Somalia.

 

A government statement Monday said Prime Minister Odinga asked Israeli President Shimon Peres for assistance in building the capacity of the Kenyan police to deal with attacks by al-Shabab militants. Odinga also met on Monday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem.

Israeli security forces are among the best in the world in dealing with terror threats, but al-Shabab could view Kenya's request as a provocation.

 

Kenya last month sent hundreds of troops into Somalia to pursue al-Shabab, whom it blames for attacks and kidnappings in Kenya. In response, al-Shabab has threatened to carry out terror attacks in Kenya's capital.

I see that after a longtime, someone has asked for help for the right purpose from the right agency.

Oh gee you're right

Odinga has called his son after Fidel Castro. He grew up partly in the DDR. He is related to Obama.

Peres and Netanyahu should be carefull when they meet him.

It can be a plot to trap Israel or harass them. But even if it is, Israel has the guts to come clear out of it.
