On the news wire 1 hour ago - "A plane with 80 people on board has crashed
at Nairobi airport, according to Kenyan authorities. The plane was flying
from the Democratic Republic of Congo. More follows."

And then 30 minutes ago "Kenyan air authorities briefly sparked panic on
Thursday by announcing a plane coming from the Democratic Republic of Congo
had crashed with 80 people on board -- then saying it was a practice drill."

The question is, why would they pretend, even briefly, to the foregin press
that there had been a real crash?

"Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) spokesman Dominic Kabiru told Reuters "We
are testing our preparedness. We have to play a real scenario."
