KENYA/AL-SHABABBack
[Published: Monday April 06 2015]

Kenya bombs al-Shabab bases in Somalia
Nairobi, 6 Apr - (ANA) - Kenyan fighter jets have bombed positions of militant group al-Shabab in neighbouring Somalia, a military spokesman has said. The warplanes had targeted two camps in the Gedo region, used by al-Shabab to cross into Kenya, the spokesman added. This is Kenya's first response to the al-Shabab assault which left 148 people dead at Garissa University last week. President Uhuru Kenyatta had vowed to respond to the attack "in the severest way possible". The al-Qaeda affiliate says it is at war with Kenya, and wants it to withdraw troops sent to Somalia in 2011 to help the weak government in Mogadishu fight the militants. (ANA)
