Is this "threat" not taking things too far ?
Israeli national carrier El Al Airlines has suspended flights to Nairobi, becoming the second airline to stop its service to Kenya after terrorist threats against U.S. and British interests.
British Airways stopped flights to and from Kenya, on Friday, citing security fears. El Al , which runs a weekly flight to Nairobi, says its actions come in response to orders from Israel's Shin Bet domestic security agency.
An Israeli charter airliner narrowly missed being hit by two missiles fired by militants in the seaside town of Mombasa last November. The attack was aimed at coinciding with the bombing of an Israeli-owned resort in the town.
