By FRED MUKINDAMore by this AuthorSuspected Al-Shabaab militants have burned down a school and abducted two teachers in an overnight attack in Fafi, Garissa. The militants, armed with small arms and explosions, also vandalised a mobile communication mast in the area. Northern and coastal Kenya have experienced a sharp rise in attacks linked to the Somalia-based terror group, in which security officers have been killed and security equipment destroyed. The attacks came hours after nine security officers and a civilian died on Wednesday when their vehicles ran over explosive devices in separate terror incidents in Lamu County. Military reinforcements were immediately dispatched and were heading to the scene when another explosive went off along their way, killing two Kenya Defence Forces soldiers and injuring another.
