A boatload of Somali gunmen attacked an exclusive beachside resort in Kenya on Sunday, killing a British tourist and kidnapping his wife before racing back into Somalia, Western diplomats said.American officials were initially concerned that that attack might have been connected to the Sept. 11 anniversary and that the gunmen were Islamist militants looking for Americans.
But by Sunday evening Western diplomats were leaning away from that theory, though they said they were still uncertain about the motive of the attack.
The beachside resort, Kiwayu Safari Village, is just south of the Somali border and one of the priciest destinations in Kenya, where guests stay in $1300-a-night bungalows at the water’s edge and are summoned to sumptuous feasts at night by the trumpet of a conch shell. Prince William and Mick Jagger are said to have vacationed here.
According to Western diplomats, the gunmen attacked the resort under the cover of darkness, zooming up to the beach in a small skiff shortly after midnight on Sunday.
It is not clear how the British tourist was killed but officials said the gunmen sped away with the dead man’s wife, heading toward Ras Kamboni, Somalia, a well-known hide-out for Islamist militants.
NO ISLAMISM HERE. SURE. WHY WOULD ANYONE SUSPECT THAT, ANYHOW? ONLY IRRATIONAL MUSLIM-HATING RACISTS.
AND MOHAMED AND BINLADEN AND ZAWAHIRI AND THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD AND THE SUPREME COUNCIL OF IRAN... THEY WERE OR ARE ALL MISUNDERSTANDERS OF ISLAM.
YEAH, SURE.

It is time for some of these wealthy islamophiles, who live in a cocoon of safety, to experience islamic terror first hand, to understand they are kuffars too!! Some people however, you can do nothing about: eg the UK man and woman who were captured on their boat in Somali waters, as they sailed round the world. They were held hostage for over a year. What are they going to do now they have been freed? Get back in their boat and sail off somewhere else dangerous! After all the effort to free them, they have complained that the government did not take care of their families while they were away etc. Some people never learn.
