Attackers raid Kenya coast village, steal police guns
2014-07-12
Armed assailants attacked a village on Kenya’s coast, stole guns from police reservists and burnt down a primary school, an official said on Friday, in the latest in a series of raids since mid-June that have killed about 100 people.

There were no immediate reports of casualties in the attack on Thursday night in the village of Panda Nguo, which lies in Lamu County on the northern coast where most of the attacks have taken place.
What happened to the police officers who were attached to the guns?
It was not clear who carried out the assault. “Unknown criminals burnt down the administration block, classrooms and a store,” the senior regional official, who asked not to be named, told Reuters.

The attack on Panda Nguo took place at about 1am, said Karisa Charo, a tribal chief in the area.

“Apart from burning down houses and stealing guns, they took away all the drugs and other medical supplies from (the)… dispensary,” Charo said.

Police could not immediately be reached for comment.
They were looking for their guns...
