The United States has warned its citizens in Kenya that there is a risk of that President Obama’s visit next week could be a “target for terrorists”.
It singles out the Global Entrepreneurship Summit in the capital, Nairobi, which opens on 24 July which Mr Obama is due to address.
“As with all large public events, there is the opportunity for criminal elements to target participants and other visitors,” the US State Department said in a statement.
“US citizens should maintain a high level of security awareness,” it added.
Kenya has been attacked several times by the Somali-based Islamists militant group al-Shabab.
