Africa rehash: pictures of US Embassy monument in Nairobi

The embassy was bombed by terrorists in the late 90's. We were in Kenya when the execution of Bin Laden was announced, and the country was on fairly high alert. There was concern of retaliatory measures being carried out. Even at a Wednesday morning church service, the pastor reminded the people in attendance that people should be vigilant. Given Kenya's history and proximity to Al Qaeda safe havens like Somalia, I don't think the concern was unreasonable.
