Security officers in Nairobi were Monday evening piecing together details of a plot to bomb the city, and cordoned off a room in a prime city hotel where the would-be terrorists booked a room since February 9 this year.
The terror plot was foiled by hawk-eyed police officers in Merti, Isiolo County, 400km north of the Kenyan capital, on Thursday last week, but the possible scale of devastation in the city, and the gallantry of the officers in the dusty village, are just emerging.
