NAIROBI (Reuters) - Kenya's government defended the efforts of its security services on Monday despite deadly weekend bombings, seven months after the Westgate shopping mall attack, and said it has foiled many other plots.

Blasts in Nairobi and Mombasa killed seven people this weekend, but for months many Kenyans have voiced growing anger that militants - believed to be linked to Somalia's al Qaeda-aligned Al Shabaab group or their sympathisers - have continued to stage sporadic attacks with apparent ease.
