ICC Note: Al-Shabaab attacked a police station in Garissa County on the Kenya- Somalia border, this morning. Two police officers are now missing and one of them was wounded during the attack. The jihadists have carried out several attacks in Kenya, including the massacre of 147 people at Garissa University in April 2015, where they targeted Christians by separating the hostages based on religion, released the Muslims and killed the rest.

9/22/2016, Kenya (Reuters) – Two policemen are missing after Somali Islamists attacked a police base in northeastern Kenya early on Thursday, a police spokesman said, the latest in a string of cross-border raids by the al Shabaab militia.

Fighters in two Landcruisers attacked the patrol base “but the officers in the camp managed to repulse them amid (a) fierce exchange of fire,” said a statement from police spokesman George Kinoti.

One policeman was wounded and two were missing, he said, adding that one attacker was killed.

Al Shabaab claimed the attack in Kenya’s Garissa County.
