NAIROBI, March 30 (Xinhua) --The Kenyan government vowed Tuesday it would step up its counter terrorism measures in the country. Internal Security Permanent Secretary Francis Kimemia said the East African nation has intensified the war against terrorism in the country, stressing that no particular community was being targeted in the war against the vice. 'We have intensified a crackdown on terrorism and the borders are well secured. Our officers are out there to make the country safe,' Kimemia told journalists after attending a regional forum in Nairobi. His comments came after a series of arrests of foreign nationals on suspicion of terrorism. Since last week, the security forces in the country have arrested about nine foreigners over terror links. The Kenya Somali border is particularly porous and the existence of insurgent groups with suspected links to al Qaida, poses a potential security risk to the country. Kimemia vowed that the countrywide crackdown against terrorism will continue, and he, however, denied there is an influx of terrorists in the country. 'It is not true that there is an influx of terrorists in the country. There have been isolated cases where refugees enter the country and they are profiled like what happened in Dobley (Kenya- Somalia border) and there is no influx at all,' he said.
