Kenya Says It Has Killed Around 100 Al-shabaab Fighters

Kenya says it has killed around 100 al-Shabaab militants after pursuing them into Somalian territory. The deaths are in reprisal for the slaying of 28 people on Saturday, when the extremist group stopped a bus in Kenya’s north and reportedly separated Muslims from non-Muslims before killing the latter. “Two successful operations were carried out against the perpetrators of these murderous executions across the border,” Kenya’s Vice President William Ruto said on Sunday, according to Reuters. The attacks, which have yet to be independently confirmed, reportedly destroyed one of al-Shabaab’s camps in Somalia, as well as four truckloads of weapons, the Guardian says. Kenya has been the victim of several al-Shabaab attacks since Nairobi started battling the Somalia-based outfit in 2011.
