ISIS claims responsibility for US Embassy attack in Nairobi

A follower of ISIS was responsible for an attack last week on a Kenyan police officer outside a US embassy in Nairobi, the group’s Amaq news agency has said.
The knife-wielding man was shot dead after he attacked a GSU officer manning security at the US embassy.
Amaq said.
Kenya’s police spokesman said at the time the motive was unclear and an investigation was launched. The spokesman could not immediately be reached on Saturday.
 
The US embassy remained closed to the public on October 28 following the incident.
the embassy later said in a statement
The group previously claimed an attack in Kenya in September by three women who were shot dead after they tried to torch a police station in Mombasa.
