| A convoy transporting Kenyan defense forces (KDF) was targeted in a roadside bomb explosion outside Liboi town near Somali border on Friday, reports said. A remote-controlled land-mine bomb believed to be planted by Somalia-based Al shabaab militants ripped through the KDF escorting convoy between Liboi and Dhobley. The bomb blast has destroyed one of vehicles in the convoy, causing unidentified casualties as Kenyan military did not comment on the IED attack. The KDF convoy left Liboi town and was en route to Dhobley at the time of the attack, according to the local residents. Liboi, a key town located 18 kilometers west of the Somali border, and it has been hit by several roadside and cross border attacks by Al shabaab over the past four years. |
