The Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) soldiers have dealt a severe blow on the Al Shabaab by killing 11 militia in Boni forest, last week, military sources say.

“It is a very big blow to a generation of well-trained foreign fighters and those from Mombasa and surrounding areas,” said a senior intelligence officer in Mombasa.
