KDF pursue Al Shabaab militants after botched Wajir attack

Kenya police and the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) have launched a joint pursuit for more than 100 Al Shabaab militants after a botched attack at a police camp in Wajir Sunday morning.

The militants are said to have suffered heavy casualties after they engaged officers in a gunfight before speeding off in a Kenya Police Land Cruiser stolen to ferry their injured.

According to Wajir East OCPD Benson Makumbi, police officers in the camp managed to repulse the attackers who escaped after the incident, leaving three Kenyan police officers injured in the dawn attack.

Reports indicate that the militants have since crossed over to Somalia.
