Kenyan security forces have arrested two Kenyan men with links to Iran on suspicion of planning attacks in the East African nation, the Interior Ministry said on Saturday.
The ministry originally identified both men as Iranians, but a spokesman later said it had issued that detail in error and the two men had links to Iran, not Iranian nationality.
"The two men, Abubakar Sadiq Louw and Yassin Sambai Juma, have admitted to conspiring to mount terror attacks against Western targets in Kenya," the ministry said.
It said their targets included "hotels in Nairobi frequented by Western tourists and diplomats."
Louw, 69, was a Kenyan passport holder and a prominent figure in Nairobi's Shi'ite Muslim community, the ministry said in the statement.

Anzino,
In the late '80's, thieves raided a U-Store in Vancouver, and got 8 hours alone in the storage lockers. They were after cash, gold and jewels, got over $18 million, and were caught at YVR when the Baggage Handlers couldn't lift their luggage for all the gold in it.
As the VPD, CCU and CSIS went through the aftermath of the looting, it was discovered that several looted lockers had contained propositioned weapons, passports, explosives from at least 4 different Black Ops groups.
When the CIA or DGSE needs to arms a wet works team with weapons and a car bomb in Beruit, they don't fly it in from Langley or Marseiise, they pull it out of a locker in Beruit.
That's what the Covert Ops groups of all nations do, when they arn't conducting assasinations, burglaries and terrorist attacks.
They are scouting targets, compiling Intel, planning and arming.
