Night Attack Leaves Two Dead Mandera, Kenya

A young women and a police reservist have been reported dead in Mandera due to an suspected attack by the militia men. Mandera police boss Jackson Rotich said the police have been pursuing suspected militia men in Mandera town for the past two days. The women was believed to have been shot in the head while closing her shop.

"The bullets that killed the woman were from the militia since you can clearly see that her shop was in a direct lone from the bush where the militia were shooting from," said Rotich. "You can count up to seven holes on the iron sheet shop but the young woman was hit in the head," says Rotich.

A grenade was then hurled into the Central AP Post killing one KPR officer and injuring another. The police boss said regular, administration police and KPR were on duty at the time.
Speaking from his hospital bed, injured police reservist Abdi Adan Abdullahi said they were only four KPRs at the time of attack. Abdi said they were sitting in a trench when the grenade hit Aliyo Mustapha killing him on the spot.

"We are looking for answers to questions like who are these people and what is their motive?".
