Al Shabaab Carries Out A Massive Attack In Kenya
[RADIOSHABELLE] Security forces have repulsed an attack by suspected al-Shabaab
... Somalia's version of the Taliban, functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda...
Death Eaters at Special Forces Camp in Kutulo, Wajir County commander Stephen Ngetich has said.

Mr Ng’etich said the attackers invaded the Special forces camp at around 8pm, resulting into a one and a half hours shootout that ended with the assailants retreating.

"We are waiting for confirmation of the extent of the damage and also if there were any casualties."

The force is a combination of elite officers drawn from the Administration Police, mainly the Rapid Deployment Unit, and Regular Police.

Early last month, Shabaab destroyed a mast belonging to telecommunications firm Safaricom, paralysing communication.
