The scene of the car bombing that also claimed the lives of three terrorists. And it was revealed by a Muslim cleric who supports Osama bin Laden that Islamic militants sympathetic to his AI -Qaeda terrorist network had warned of an attack on Kenya one week ago, on internet chat rooms and in e-mails. “They said in chat rooms that there would be something good in East Africa, that a heavy price would be paid,” Sheikh Omar Bakri Muhammad, leader of the radical London-based al Muhajiroun group told Reuters news agency. Last night, a previously unheard of group called Army of Palestine claimed responsibility through a message faxed to Reuters by a Lebanese media organisation. Warnings of an impending attack came terribly true at exactly 8.35am when three suicide bombers rammed their four wheel drive Pajero through a security barrier at the Paradise Hotel, at Kikambala, on the North Coast, which was packed with guests As the from Israel.
