When I first heard the story, I suspected this may have had something to do with Al Shabab.
Looking at the incident it also becomes clear that Kenyan security forces did not have a good enough contingency plan for such an event, most African metropolitan police forces are poorly equipped and trained especially for such delicate events as this (with the exception of South Africa).
This will do Al Shabab no favours.
Kenyas military however is no laughing matter and if they decide that this warrants a military response against Al Shababs operation in Somalia, we could see a very disturbed East Africa.
