Landmine blast injures 7 in the Kenyan town of Garissa
[SHABELLENEWS] A landmine kaboom which hit a vehicle in the Kenyan town of Garissa on Monday late afternoon injured seven people -- six critically -- the Kenya Red Thingy has confirmed.In a statement, the Kenya Red Thingy said the injured had been rushed to Liboi Health Center just after the kaboom. It is not the first time that such attacks have happened in Kenya. In June last year an ambulance driver was killed in Garissa county and medics were maimed after they drove over a landmine which security forces say had been planted by bully boyz from the Somalia-based al-Qaeda affiliate al-Shabaab ...  the personification of Somali state failure...There have also been numerous cases of police deaths in Kenya -- particularly in Garissa county -- after unsuspecting officers drove over devices believed to have been placed by al-Shabaab bad boys. Garissa county has witnessed numerous attacks by al-Shabaab, who cross into Kenya through the porous Kenya-Somali border. Posted by: Fred 2017-05-10 |
