Alwaght- At least eight Kenyan police officers were killed in the eastern part of the country on Sunday after their vehicle hit an improvised explosive device allegedly planted by Somalia’s al Shabaab militant group. Police spokesman Charles Owino, said security agencies had obtained credible intelligence suggesting that Al-Shabaab are planning to carry out attacks in various parts of the country during the World Cup period and after the Ramadan period. Over the past year, ‘Shabaab’ insurgents, based in Somalia, have claimed several such attacks killing dozens of Kenyan police and soldiers.
