Intelligence Failure at NSIS and Terror Attacks, Strategic Intelligence Analysis

We highlighted a sensitive scenario which has played out forcing Washington to forcibly recall its ambassador to avoid further diplomatic spats with Nairobi in relation to security and economic issues.
However, two scenarios play out in this catastrophic event: one, diplomatic constraints and two, intelligence failure at NSIS. Kenya and the US maybe having differences based on various sensitive economic and military reasons and the US may opt withholding vital intelligence to get back. This culminates to intelligence sharing failure with CIA having credible intelligence, which it will not pass to the NSIS for the diplomatic reasons mentioned.
While the above reason is an extreme measure with catastrophic ramifications to an extent of human rights violation, validity and the sense in opting such a policy remains adequate during diplomatic impasses. However, Intelligence sharing could be present with vital information often shared by the CIA and NSIS.
These particular issues are catalysts in the impromptu resignation of the low-key ambassador.
