Police stepped up patrols in Mombasa after the killing of radical cleric Abubaker Shariff Ahmed a.k.a. Makaburi, who was buried last night and and praised as a "martyr." Just a week ago, he won a damages from the government for unlawful detention of his property during an antiterrorism raid. In Nairobi's Eastleigh suburb, police defused an IED on a road near Moi airbase, and arrested a man and his wife who had two grenades. Officials said some Somali refugees will be repatriated, and security will be heightened at prisons as terrorists are planning attacks from them.
