An assailants attacked kill 6-Kenyan Security Officers in ambush near Somalia Border & no group has claimed responsibility, but Garissa County Commissioner Mohamed Mwabudzo told the BBC the style of the attack followed a pattern of raids by Somali-based Islamist militant group al-Shabab…
He said the officers were ambushed on Sunday at 05:30 local time (02:30 GMT), while they were preparing for their morning prayers, In addition to the six officers who died, four officers were taken to hospital with injuries, Al-Shabab frequently mounts cross-border attacks in the area, targeting both the Kenyan military and civilian populations.
Mr Mwabudzo said the “guerrilla-style” “(hit & run) nature of the attack aligns with al-Shabab’s “pattern of cross-border raids aimed at destabilising the region”, “The suspected militia used assorted weapons to overrun the camp,” he added, The camp targeted in the assault was housing reservists – local volunteers who assist the regular police in securing remote areas.
