Gunman Kills Five Kenyan Policeman

A government official says unknown gunmen killed eight people, including five policemen, in an ambush in eastern Kenya.

According to the Washington Post on Tuesday eight people died when a police car was sprayed with bullets 9 kilometers (5 miles) from the Kenya-Somalia border. Kenya’s border area with Somalia has suffered attacks on government officials and non-Somali civilians since Oct. 2011 when Kenya sent troops into Somalia to fight the Islamic extremist al-Shabab rebels.

 

What a pity.
