[RADIOSHABELLE] Kenyan authorities have beefed up security along Somali border in Mandera county after Somali bully boys, al-Shabaab
...  the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord...
killed five coppers on Tuesday evening.
Northeastern regional coordinator Mohamud Saleh said on Wednesday three police reservists and two Administration Police officers who were on patrol along Elwak-Kotulo road in Mandera died in the attack.
"We lost five security officers in the attack while on patrol on Elwak-Kotulo road but we are pursuing the attackers," Saleh said.
Two police reservists and two Administration Police officers died instantly while another police reservist died while being rushed to the hospital.
Daniel Bundotich, Mandera South Deputy County Commissioner said the dear departed were on normal patrol on the Elwak-Kotulo road and the attackers also burnt a police lorry while several officers were maimed in the ambush.
Bundotich said the first attack targeted a group of Administration coppers who were on patrol where two officers and three reservists were killed.
The second contingent of paramilitary personnel that was responding to the first attack was also ambushed. The attackers escaped the scene soon after the incident. This is the latest such incident in a series that have happened in the recent past.
