Kenyan police are looking into reports that a woman resembling wanted Shabaab terrorist Samantha Lewthwaite had tried to cross over into Somalia from Lamu county and then vanished after border guards denied her permission. The head of the National Task Force on Community Policing urged the Kenyan media to demonstrate patriotism by avoiding coverage of Shabaab attacks. The UK added a travel advisory for Mandera county, and Australia warned citizens to avoid the Kenya-Ethiopian border area due to the danger of Shabaab attacks.
