Police in eastern Kenya are blaming al-Shabab militants for the death of an officer and a civilian in an attack in Garissa County, on the border with Somalia. He said police suspect al-Shabab militants were behind the attack. “We expect it could be these bad boys but we have a lead and we are catching them,” said Ngeiywa. The incident comes a few days after suspected al-Shabab members destroyed a radio tower in a police station in Kutulo, in Kenya’s border county of Mandera. Somalia-based al-Shabab has been active in Kenya for more than a decade, even since Kenya sent troops to join the African Union peacekeeping mission in Somalia.
