As Kenya this month holds anniversaries for the major terrorist attacks that has rocked the country in the past, including the 9/11 attack and the September 21, 2013 Westgate Mall attack in Nairobi, the US has once again alerted its citizens who reside in the nation of a new terror advisory.

“While attacks can occur at any time, concerns are heightened in proximity to anniversaries of prior terrorist attacks, such as September 11, the September 21 Westgate Mall attack,” the embassy said in a Friday advisory.
