Kenya is asking the international community for help. That country’s prime minister is seeking Israel’s support in stopping reprisal terror attacks by al-Qaida-linked militant group al-Shababb. The Pentagon says it has not been directly asked for help. There is Kenya last month sent hundreds of troops into Somalia to pursue al-Shabab, whom it blames for attacks and kidnappings in Kenya. In response, al-Shabab has threatened to carry out terror attacks in Kenya’s capital.
