A controversial American author and conspiracy theorist was arrested in Nairobi and deported after trying to plug his bestselling book attacking Barack Obama, whose late father was Kenyan, reports the Guardian.
Jerome Corsi arrived in the country last week to promote The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality, an error-riddled book that recently became a bestseller in the US. It falsely claims that Obama, who is revered in Kenya, was raised as a Muslim, and smears the prime minister, Raila Odinga, the country's most popular politician.
