Kenyan police say they disrupted a major terrorist attack in its final stages of planning.

Two people have been arrested with explosive devices and a cache of weapons and ammunition.

The men, suspected of having links with al-Shabab, an al-Qaeda-linked militant group, were arrested in a Somali immigrant area of Nairobi.

 Four suicide vests were also confiscated, similar to those used in attacks in Uganda. Kenya has suffered a spate of grenade attacks that have killed more than 50 people.
