The death toll in the Mandera gun attack on two passenger buses has risen to three. Officials said the attackers escaped with some of the weapons issued to the officers who had been injured. The buses usually leave as a convoy as part of efforts to address such attack fears. Last month, the gang also tried to attack a communication mast in Afaat in Wajir county but three of them were killed. The area is near the Somalia border and the militants usually cross at will and stage attacks before escaping back.
