Anti-Obama author held in Kenya

2008-10-07 12:00
line

Nairobi - A Kenyan official says the American author of a book critical of Barack Obama has been detained while his immigration status is checked.

Jerome Corsi wrote The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality.

Senior immigration official Carlos Maluta says he is being held at immigration headquarters after police picked him up from his hotel on Tuesday.

Maluta said that officials had not decided what to do with him. Officials were checking Corsi's immigration status.

The Corsi book claims the Illinois senator is a dangerous, radical candidate for president. Obama is wildly popular in Kenya. His father, whom he barely knew, was a Kenyan economist.
