Location : High traffic areas frequented by foreigners and tourists in Nairobi and elsewhere in Kenya
Event: Locations frequented by U.S. citizens and other foreigners and tourists in Nairobi and elsewhere in Kenya continue to be attractive targets to terrorists planning to conduct potentially imminent attacks.
