A Kenyan police bomb expert clad in a protective ballistic suit approaches the site of a suspected improvised explosive device, IED, on April 2, 2014 in Nairobi's increasingly restive Somali district of Eastleigh, a day after a prominent hardline Muslim cleric was shot dead in Mombasa. The cleric Abubaker Shariff Ahmed, was a vocal supporter of Osama bin Laden, and was on UN sanctions lists accused of being a “leading facilitator and recruiter of young Kenyan Muslims for violent militant activity in Somalia”, and of having “strong ties” with Shebab leaders.
