The regime is really trying to make their case in the court of world opinion...

NAIROBI, Kenya — Two Iranians who led authorities to a cache of explosives after their arrest planned to attack Israeli, U.S., British or Saudi targets inside Kenya, officials told The Associated Press on Monday.
The two are believed to be members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps Quds Force, an elite and secretive unit that acts against foreign interests, one of the officials said.
The foiled attack appeared to fit into a global pattern of alleged plots by Iranian agents. Previous plots were uncovered in the U.S. — against Saudi Arabia’s ambassador — as well as in Thailand, Azerbaijan and India.
Kenyan security forces arrested the Iranians on June 19 and were then led to 15 kilograms (33 pounds) of RDX, a powerful explosive that could have been used against multiple targets or concentrated in one large bomb. If used together, the explosives could have leveled a medium-sized hotel, officials told AP. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the investigation.

They don't have a top notch photoshop department unlike Iran
i started a thread about this story long time ago,by the way this kind of operation require human intel,if western intelligence were so good why did they not stop those attacks in india,georgia and thailand ?you need the locals
Good work.....although I wouldn't discount the possibility of Host Nation forces playing very critical roles in all of this.
They might not have much in the way of world class bleeding edge technical intelligence capability.....but HUMINT/beat cop/detective/surveillance capability is certainly not just the domain/patent of the wealthy west.
also from what i have being reading from the local media this guys were trying to make contact with people sympathetic to alshabaab,who had that intel? the locals and don't think this guys were water boarded,they went through much worse
US freezes assets and imposes sanctions on 6 people from Kenya, Eritrea and Sudan
Kenyan Police foil attempts by a man to sneak in two grenades to the ASK show in Nakuru moments before President Kibaki's arrival.
