Kenya says 1 killed as suspected al-Shabaab attack convoy
2018-01-15
[News24] Nairobi - Kenyan officials said on Saturday a civilian was killed and several policemen wounded when suspected members of the Somalia-based extremist group al-Shabaab attacked a convoy of vehicles.

Interior Ministry spokesman Mwenda Njoka says the police vehicles had been escorting buses between Mombasa city and Lamu County and were destroyed in the attack.

Kenya's government is battling to stop a wave of attacks by al-Shabaab fighters who say they are avenging Kenya's deployment of troops to neighboring Somalia in 2011. Kenyan troops make up part of the African Union peacekeeping force in Somalia that bolsters the country's weak government against al-Shabaab's insurgency.
