On October 12, up to 10 Kenyan police officers were killed when their vehicle hit an improvised explosive device (IED) planted on the roadside – most likely by Al Shabaab jihadists – in Garissa.
On June 15, at least eight officers were killed in similar circumstances in Wajir County. These are just two of the many attacks by Al Shabaab on our security officers that have been prevalent in the recent past.
