The Pentagon plans to provide eight small unarmed drones to Kenya to help combat Al Qaida and Al Shabaab in Somalia.
Kenya will get eight hand-launched Raven drones with sensors used to pinpoint targets, according to Pentagon documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. Ravens are unarmed but can be used to identify targets for strikes using ground forces or armed aircraft. The drones are part of a new package of military assistance for key African partners.
