Kenyan police kill 5 al-Shabab terrorists in border region
[ShabelleMedia] Kenyan police on Saturday killed five al-Shabaab
... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord...
murderous Moslems and arrested four others in a security operation in Garissa County near the border with Somalia.
Garissa County, Kenya is a busy place, full of Shaboobs looking for a quieter area to enjoy the pleasures of jihad now that the Somali army is getting more serious about rooting them out.
The police said the four suspects were arrested from their hideout in the Fafi area where the security forces recovered two PKM machine guns, six AK47 rifles, and several improvised bombs making materials.

According to the security report, "the four are being interrogated and are cooperating well with the police."

The intelligence-led operation caught the snuffies by surprise as they crossed into Kenya and established a temporary camp in the Fafi area of Garissa.

The operation was launched after the police foiled plans by the snuffies to set up a base in Mangai, Lamu County in the coastal region on Wednesday and destroyed their cell. The police said a significant number of bad boyz were potted and that the cell was in the last stages of orchestrating a reinforced ambush targeting security forces in the area.

The police said al-Shabaab is using the Lamu area as a logistics base to attack local targets and retreat.
Good to know.
They have thwarted several planned attacks in the country, mostly in the northern region, which had been experiencing a lull in terms of terror attacks. The area is near the Somalia border, and the snuffies usually cross at will and stage attacks before escaping back.
