The Kenyan National Police Service is on high alert following intelligence reports that Al-Qaeda linked Al-Shabaab militia plans to launch deadly terror attacks in the country, Capital FM reported.

Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinnet says the militia targets various government learning institutions, markets, shopping malls, religious institutions and journalists who report negatively about them.

The police boss told journalists on Saturday that the militia wants to unveil their evil intentions during the month of Ramadan by abusing the essence of the period.

“We shall work with everyone to ensure negative elements in our midst are exposed to face the law,” he stated.

He said already arrests have been made as police continue to carry out high level investigations which include in refugee camps to avert any terror attack.
