At least three people were over the weekend killed in two separate gun attacks by suspected Al-Shabaab militants operating in Mandera County. Police said Moulid Billow and Ahmed Bata were killed after their vehicle was sprayed with bullets by suspected al-Shabaab militia. Security agencies were not spared in the attacks. This forced the Mandera County Government to stop the movement of their vehicles over increasing terror-related incidents in the area. They have been planting explosives on the routes used by the security agencies and attacking them.
