The Obama Administration has arranged to
provide—free of charge—several customized special-operations military
vessels to the Government of Kenya, U.S. Trade & Aid Monitor has
learned. Finalization of those plans came exactly one week prior to
today’s explosion in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi.
Although officially it remains unclear
whether the blast was the result of a utility problem or the work of
terrorists, Reuters reports that a witness saw a man place a suspicious
package in business-district building right before the explosion.
The U.S. Naval Sea Systems Command is awarding a noncompetitive
“sole-source contract to United States Marine Incorporated (USMI) of
Gulfport, Miss to provide five (5) 11M Naval Special Warfare Rigid
Inflatable Boats,” according to a presolicitation notice that NAVSEC
uploaded to a federal contracting database May 21.
The U.S. Navy in a separate “Fact File”
describes the vessels as “High-speed, high-buoyancy, extreme-weather
craft with the primary mission of SEAL insertion/extraction.”
A History Channel report referred to the boat as “the Lamborghini of special warfare craft.”
