Share on Twitter Al Shabaab militants. Mandera: Gunmen believed to be
Al-Shabaab terrorists attacked a police post and destroyed communication masts
in Arabia area, Mandera County.
This cut communication
between police officers who were at the Administration Police post and other
commanders. It was not immediately clear if there were casualties following the
early morning incident. North Eastern regional commander Mohamud Saleh said
they had sent a response team to check on the casualties.
“There is no communication
with officers on the ground but there was an attack there. Teams are heading
there,” he said. ALSO READ: It is not illegal for Kenyans to travel to Somalia,
High Court rules Police say there has been no communication with the officers
who were at the post which is about 100 kilometres away from Mandera town and
hence a team has been dispatched to establish what happened.
Last month, a police
reservist was killed in a foiled attack in Mandera Town. This is the latest
mast to be targeted in a series. Many others were attacked in Fino town in the
area. Others were attacked in Dabacity in Elwak. Dabacity had last year become
a terror hotspot recording about four incidents in less than a month.
