Kenyan Police Hunting Al-Shabab Militants In Border Region
[RADIOSHABELLE] Kenyan security forces have launched a manhunt for al-Shabaab
...... the personification of Somali state failure...
bully boyz behind the abduction of two Kenyans in Liboi area along the Kenya-Somalia border.

Garissa County police commander Alfred Angengo said the two businessmen, Abdullahi Issack Harun and Abdi Hassan Ilkaase, who were kidnapped by about 20 al-Shabaab bully boyz on Dec. 26, were traced and taken to Liboi cop shoppe on Sunday.

He said only three bully boyz boarded the vehicle in which the two businessmen were traveling in and proceeded with the captives to neighboring Somalia.

"Only three of the al-Shabaab militia proceeded with the captives to Somalia at a place called Bagdad, 60 km from Hosingo, to the east where they have established a camp and hosted black flag," Angengo said in a statement.

The two businessmen, who were freed on Dec. 27, appeared in good health though tired, he said.

The two were ferrying miraa (khat) to Liboi when they were ambushed by al-Shabaab bully boyz and taken to Somalia, Angengo said.

He said security forces will conduct operations along the border areas to flush out bully boyz believed to be planning to stage attacks in the region.

The abduction came two weeks after bully boyz ambushed a Garissa-bound commuter bus and killed 11 people, including eight coppers.
