The announcement came a day after the British government lifted its six-week ban on commercial flights between London and the Kenyan capital. Flights to Nairobi will resume next Thursday, the airline said in a statement. Britain suspended flights to Kenya on May 15 because of a "credible" threat, prompting British Airways to cancel its daily service between London and Nairobi. Since then, British Airways has been flying daily to Entebbe in neighboring Uganda. Passengers departing from Kenya were placed on a charter flight to Uganda. Kenya has been the scene of two terrorist attacks -- both blamed on al-Qaida -- in the last five years and U.S. and British intelligence has raised fears of another attack. On Nov. 28, a car bomb exploded at a hotel north of Mombasa. Minutes before that attack, assailants unsuccessfully tried to shoot down an Israeli charter jet with shoulder-fired missiles as it was taking off from Mombasa's airport. In 1998, a car bomb exploded outside the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi, killing 219 people, including 12 Americans. =20 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright 2003 AP
