Police in northeastern Kenya have arrested several men they believe have ties to al-Shabab, the radical al-Qaida-linked Somali group that has claimed responsibility for the terrorist attacks in Kampala, Uganda. Kenya's police and military have been on heightened alert since Sunday's deadly bombings.
Reports from Kenya's Northeastern Province say two of the suspects in custody are Kenyan Somalis. But a third man arrested at a police checkpoint Wednesday may be a Ugandan.
