Five Kenyan police officers are dead after suspected Islamist al-Shabab militants attacked a police convoy as it traveled through the northeastern part of the country, a local official said.
The police were providing security for a bus near the town of Elwak, near the Somalian border, when the militants blew up their vehicle with what is believed to be a rocket-propelled grenade.
“We condemn the attack by al-Shabab at Dimu this morning, five police officers killed,” Mandera County Governor Ali Roba said on his Twitter account.
Al Shabaab said it was behind the attack.
