Five police killed in suspected militant attack in Kenya

Nairobi, (MILLAT ONLINE):Five Kenyan policemen were killed Friday in an attack by suspected militants near the Somali border,
authorities said.
The five died when the suspected Shabaab militants raided neighbouring police camps in
Lafey town in Mandera County in northeastern Kenya.
“We had an attack this morning and we have lost four officers,” said regional commissioner
Mohamud Saleh, adding a reservist had also been killed.
“A security operation is ongoing in the area,” he added.
The area’s communication mast was also destroyed before the attackers escaped towards
the nearby border with Somalia.
“We suspect Al-Shabaab involvement,” said Saleh.
