Analysis: Kenyan bubble blamed on pirates

A developing property bubble in Nairobi Kenya is being blamed on pirate money laundering. Government spokesman Alfred Mutua says, "There is suspicion that some of the money that is being collected in piracy is being laundered by purchase of property in several countries, this one being one of them." Kenya proposes to investigate foreign property owners to remedy the situation. (AP, 1/1/10)
