Various security measures are used to protect the US President when he travels : a rocket-grenade launching limo, hundreds of Secret Service staff - and perhaps even a body double. When Barack Obama rolled into town for the G20 summit in Australia , it seems his lookalike wasn't far away. As the President was driven through the streets of Brisbane in his heavily guarded limousine dubbed The Beast, a "decoy" Barack Obama was snapped by a local newspaper photographer - apparently in a decoy Beast.

Kenya warns her citizen against travel through London's Heathrow Airport. Kenya has issued travel advisory to her citizens travelling through Heathrow Airport after US officials said Al Qaeda operatives in Yemen and Syria were developing sophisticated bombs that could bring down a plane.
