We have received unconfirmed reports from a reliable source that security personnel in Nairobi, Kenya, have been alerted to possible attacks by extremists on specific sites frequented by foreigners in Nairobi. Typically, we would issue an alert through normal channels, but this process requires a minimum of two sources. In this instance, we have a single but reliable source, and we feel that the potential consequences are dire enough to bring this information to your attention.
We have been alerted to the following possibility:
Kenyan citizens of Somali descent linked to Somalia-based Al-Shabaab Islamist militants may be planning to attack the Village Market in Gigiri, and the Israeli-owned Westgate Mall. Village Market houses a number of diplomatic and duty free stores, and is a regular meeting place for U.N. staff and diplomats. It is advisable, if possible, for all employees operating in Nairobi to minimize time spent in these areas (as well as other locations where foreigners tend to congregate) until details of the threat become clearer, or are dispelled entirely.
We will provide updates as further information emerges.
