Explosion at Kenya refugee camp kills 5 police officers
I(Sh.M.Network)- A remote-controlled bomb went off inKenya's Dhagahley refugee camp locates near Somalia border on Tuesday, killing five police officer and wounding many others, witnesses said.The news reports indicated that the blast occurred at the Dagahaley camp, one of three that make up the Dadaab complex, the world's largest refugee settlement. Dadaab refugee complex now is home to some 460,000 people, most of them Somalis who have fled two decades of conflict and famine in their war-ridden horn of Africa nation. Two Kenyan military vehicles were destroyed in the blast after hitting by IEDs (improvised bomb) that have been hidden under the ground in Dhagahley camp, according the locals. The group has claimed yet the responsibility for the attack, but the worsening security situation in the camps forced the United Nations ...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks... to suspend non-lifesaving operations at them in October.
