Kenya detains two dozen in security swoop: officials 4 hours ago NAIROBI (AFP) - Kenyan anti-terrorism police have detained at least 26 people in a security swoop in the capital Nairobi and the port city of Mombasa, security officials said Friday. The arrests, 24 in Nairobi and two in the country's second city, come less than two weeks ahead of Kenya's general elections. "This is a regular security operation. We want to ensure that we are secure during Christmas," police spokesman Eric Kiraithe told AFP without elaborating. Kiraithe said most of the suspects were Ethiopian and Somali nationals. Two men were arrested with a grenade and guns in Mombasa, about 500 kilometers (310 miles) southeast of Nairobi, Coast Police Commander Kingori Mwangi said. "Our officers recovered their luggage which contained guns and grenades in the bus. They were then trailed and found at a hideout in Bakarani area (of Mombasa)," Mwangi explained. "They are being investigated on a range of terror-related issues. We also want to know how some of them got into the country because they don't have valid travel documents," another security official said on condition of anonymity. Kenya is currently in the thick of the campaign for the December 27 presidential, legislative and local elections. Previous ballots in Kenya have frequently been marred by civil unrest.
