Terrorism Sweeps Kenya

Terrorism is sweeping the nation.  It almost seems inevitable that terrorism is in every country at some point.  More and more cases are reported and it seems that this violent world that we live in is not getting better at this point.  The idea of peaceful settlements has left the minds of many and now this cruel world of violence has entered.  We have seen in it in the United States recently and in Africa there have been an outrageous number of terrorist actions within the nation.  Countries within Africa are having conflicts with neighboring countries.
                In this article I read, the author pointed out that there has been some terrorist activity in Kenya.  In fact, a member of Kenya’s police force was killed in terrorist action.  However, they are still investigating the chances of it being an act of terrorism, but based on evidence they have collected now they have come to the conclusion that was the motive behind the police officer’s death.
                The article points out that an onlooker say men in a ditch at the time of the crime, and those suspects are believed to be the terrorist.  After research the investigators found that a grenade was the cause of death to the police officer; it was thrown into his moving vehicle.  Therefore, it is believed that the suspects threw the grenade from the ditch.  The murder took place in Estleigh, Kenya, and authorities believe that the murders were Somalia immigrants that have been fleeing frequently into Kenya for economic reasons.
                Terrorist action is something that is a serious ordeal that can be prevented.  It seems silly to wish World peace in today’s society, because looking around at the corrupt society it is hard to imagine a world without violence or terrorist activity.  Africa needs relief and some support within the continent so that terrorist actions can be reduced. 
The following is the location of the crime
Narobi, the stared city, was near the city of the murder
