Al-Shabab Threat Rising in Kenya's Northeast

Mohammed Yusuf

   NAIROBI - Friday marked two years since al-Shabab terrorists attacked
   the Dusit D2 hotel in central Nairobi, killing 22 people. The
   anniversary comes as Kenya's Mandera, a county bordering Somalia, is
   seeing increased attacks from the Islamist militants amid fears they
   are gaining control of the area.

   The county's governor, Ali Roba, said Friday he can no longer be silent
   on the militant group's activities in his area.
