| 2012-05-23 |
| (Sh.M.Netwprk)- A curfew has been imposed and came under effect overnight in Mandera town, northeastern Kenya following a deadly kaboom on Monday, causing unconfirmed casualties on the Kenyan military, residents said. Kenyan police forces were reportedly halted public movements in the town as they have been conducting ground patrols t secure the overall security of the border town of Mandera which has been rocked by a deadly landmine blast that hit Kenyan military convoy on Monday. "The security personnel had embarked on a door-to-door operation to mop up arms and other crude weapons this morning, but as far as I know no arrests were made until now, a local resident, told Shabelle Media by telephone from Mandera town. The town is less than 100 metres from the Kenya border. The security has worsened since Kenya sent its troops into the neighboring Somalia last year to pursue Al shabab bully boys. |
