Nairobi, Kenya (CNN) -- The U.S. Embassy in Kenya warned American citizens Saturday of an "imminent threat of terrorist attacks" after Kenya sent troops across the border into Somalia to pursue suspected Islamic militants from Al-Shabaab.

Kenyan government spokesman Alfred Mutua told CNN about the advance this week, which marks a dramatic shift in security tactics for the east African powerhouse.

"This is to inform U.S. citizens residing in or visiting Kenya that the U.S. Embassy in Kenya has received credible information of an imminent threat of terrorist attacks directed at prominent Kenyan facilities and areas where foreigners are known to congregate, such as malls and night clubs," the U.S. Embassy said in an emergency message.

It added that it has taken measures to limit official U.S. government visits and that citizens should consider deferring travel to Kenya.

This is incredibly bad for Kenya but I think they have no other choice but to go after these Somalis.

1. I agree! This is very sad for Kenya...

Because they have worked hard to make their country a better place & to have it all ruined due to these idiots is sad!

And YES I agree they have no other choice but to crush these barbarians before they turn Kenya into Somalia 2.0.

3. There are so many Somali illegal aliens NOT living in camps in Somalia

Thousands upon thousands in Nairobi.


How one could spot a terrorist is a virtual impossibility...
