Two Kenyan police officers have been killed in an attack on a security post near the Somali border, with the suspicion falling on the same armed group behind the deadly siege at a Nairobi mall which left over 62 shoppers, including at least 18 foreigners, dead.
The
attack took place in the town of Mandera in the early hours of
September 26, 2013, Thursday. Charlton Mureithi, the Regional police
chief, revealed that in addition to the two police officers killed,
three others were injured and 11 vehicles destroyed.
The
attack came hours after the Somalia-based AL-Shabab group threatened
that violence would continue until Kenyan troops were withdrawn from
Somalia.
The
warning came from the group's leader, Ahmed Godane Shaykh Mukhtar Abu
Zubayr, who said there was no way Kenyan society could "withstand a war
of attrition inside your own country" in a statement on September 25,
Wednesday.
“Make
your choice today and withdraw all your forces, otherwise be prepared
for an abundance of blood that will be spill in your country, economic
downfall and displacement,” Godane said.
