Kenya: Mandera Police Foil Shaboob Attack On Buses
|
Police in Mandera on Tuesday foiled a planned Al-Shabaab attack targeting two passenger buses heading to the town. County Commissioner Fredrick Shisia said 12 police officers were escorting the buses from Elwak through Wargadud location when they were ambushed.
“It is true there was an attack on a convoy of two buses coming from Elwak at Kona area, where our officers engaged suspected terrorists in a fire exchange but none of them was injured,” said Mr Shisia.
He said it was not an ordinary attack because the attackers targeted security agents after leaving the two buses to pass through their trap.
“We have cordoned off the area and our security agents are pursuing the attackers. We believe something positive will come out,” said Mr Shisia.
