Kenyan police foil Al-Shabaab attack in Lamu
|
[SHABELLENEWS] Kenyan security forces foiled an attempted attack on their camp in the coastal region of Lamu by al-Shabaab
...  Somalia's version of the Taliban, functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda...
early Tuesday, hours after President Uhuru Kenyatta ordered an all-out war against Death Eaters in the restive region.
A senior police officer in Lamu confirmed the attempted attack, saying about 30 armed Death Eaters were on a mission to attack Mokowe GSU camp but sneaked out after noticing the presence of security officers.
"The murderous Moslems who were heavily armed approached the police camp in two groups at around 1 a.m. but we overpowered them and (they) fled into the Boni forest," the police officer who did not want to be identified said by telephone.
Witnesses said the bandidos bad boys retreated to the vast Boni forest which they have been using as their hideout to launch attacks on the Lamu villagers.
Police operating in the area said they were on alert and there are fears of more attacks in the area from the gang.
"They were sighted near the camp with an intention to attack but retreated to the forest. There was no casualty," said an official in the area. Mokowe is about 35 kilometres from Milihoi where five people were killed last week.
