WASHINGTON (AP) - The Defense Department has alerted all U.S. interests in Kenya to a terrorist threat, prompting the closure of the American Embassy in Nairobi, officials said Friday.

The Pentagon also raised the threat level in the East African nation to "high" based on information about a threat against a specific target, a defense official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. The warning, the highest of four levels, was issued Thursday.

The official said details of the warning, including the target and the nature of the threat, were classified secret.
I know, Angola and Kenya are on opposite flanks of Africa, but presumably, a 727--especially one outfitted as a "fuel-tanker"--could cover the distance.

I hope nothing bad happens.
