At least six people were Monday morning killed following an attack by al-Shabaab militants in the Widhu Majembeni area in Lamu County. Police who visited the scene said preliminary findings had shown the attack was perpetrated by locals fighting over land issues. Officials who attended the scene said the Improvised Explosive Device had been set by al-Shabaab militants sighted in the area. Officials say once complete, the teams will be spread 40 kilometres apart to enable quick response to attacks from militants. The fence especially in Mandera and Lamu has helped reduce incidents of attacks by the militants who often crossed at will.
