US author of anti-Obama

NAIROBI: The American author of a best-selling, controversial book blasting White House hopeful Barack Obama was detained on Tuesday by security officials in Kenya, police said. Jerome Corsi “has been detained and he is currently being held at the immigration office” in Nairobi, a top police official told AFP on condition of anonymity.

Corsi was to unveil “The Obama Nation” to the Kenyan public at a Nairobi hotel.
Obama’s father, now deceased, was Kenyan and the US senator running for president enjoys wide support in East Africa. In a press release distributed earlier this week, Corsi announced he would “expose deep secret ties between between US Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama and a section of the Kenyan government leaders.”

He was also to detail Kenyan leaders’ “connections to certain sectoral groups in Kenya and a subsequent plot to be executed in Kenya should Obama win the American presidency,” the release said.
