Kenya detains Corsi during Obama probe, scuttles news conference

"The government of Kenya is holding WND senior staff reporter Jerome Corsi in custody at immigration headquarters after police picked him up at his hotel just prior to a scheduled news conference in which he planned to announce the findings of his investigation into Barack Obama's connections in the country,"  WND reports.

"Corsi, the author of the No. 1 best-selling book The Obama Nation, was picked up by authorities at his hotel at 9:45 a.m. and is being detained at Nyayo House, the provincial headquarters for Nairobi.

"'Just as we were about to start the 10 a.m. press conference at the Grand Regency Hotel in Nairobi, Kenyan immigration approached us and detained us,' Corsi told WND by telephone this morning. 'Tim Bueler, my publicist, and I are now in the immigration offices, with our passports taken. The immigration officer told the press, "There is no problem, and Dr. Corsi is a friend of Kenya."'

"Corsi had extensive meetings with top Kenyan officials upon his arrival. His visit and his activities during his stay have been well-known to authorities at the highest levels," says WND.

"A senior immigration official in charge of investigations, Carlos Maluta was quoted by the Associated Press as saying: 'We still haven't decided what to do with him" . . . .
