| 2012-05-22 |
(Sh.M.Network)-- Four Kenyan soldiers were maimed Monday when a landmine went kaboom!beneath their vehicle in the northeastern Mandera region bordering war-torn Somalia, police said. "Officers have been injured, we have sent a team to investigate," regional police chief Leo Nyongesa said. "Four officers have been injured, the tanker passed over a landmine," said a police official who was not authorised to speak to news hounds. It was not immediately clear whether the kaboom had been triggered by a remote device, nor who was responsible for the blast. Last month the hardline Shebab warned Kenyaof Dire Revenge™ attacks for sending tanks and troops into Somalia in October. Kenya has been hit by a series of grenade attacks and kabooms, mostly in Nairobi and in northern towns and camps housing Somali refugees close to the border. Earlier this month attackers launched a deadly grenade attack on a restaurant in the port city of Mombasa. |
