Al-Shabaab attempt attack on GSU camp hours after President Uhuru's visit

Al-Shabaab militants attempted to attack a police camp in Lamu Monday night hours after president Kenyatta had ordered their killing.
The about 30 militants were seen loitering near Mukowe General Service Unit camp Monday night with plans to attack them.
But they retreated into Boni Forest after they realized the GSU personnel there had been alerted and were waiting for a fight.
Police operating in the area said they were on alert and there are fears of more attacks in the area from the gang.
