Kenyan police said on Wednesday they had arrested two people linked to Islamic State who were planning to launch an attack, seizing bomb-making materials.
This month, however, police said they had arrested an Islamist militant who was plotting attacks and who they said was linked to Islamic State.
Kenya’s focus dismantling al Shabaab cells may have allowed sympathizers of Islamic State to slip under the radar, experts say.
The two men were arrested on Tuesday in a suburb of the capital Nairobi and police said they were planning a retaliatory attack for the arrest of the Islamic State planner Mohamed Abdi Ali earlier this month.
