Kenyan authorities say they are pursuing suspected al-Shabab terrorists who killed six people early Monday in Lamu County, on the border with Somalia. Kenya’s Lamu County Commissioner Irungu Macharia says suspected al-Shabab militants attacked and killed the villagers early Monday in the county’s Widhu area. The Nation Media group quoted some locals saying most of the attackers were carrying machetes, whereas al-Shabab militants are commonly armed with guns. He says they have beefed up security in the county to make sure that Kenyans and their properties are safe. Al-Shabab are known to hideout in the Boni forest in northeast Kenya’s Lamu County on the border with Somalia.
