BREAKING: The al-Shabab extremist group says it has attacked a military base used by U.S. and Kenyan troops. Kenya's military says at least four attackers were killed.
NAIROBI, Kenya — The al-Shabab extremist group says it has attacked a military base used by U.S. and Kenyan troops in coastal Kenya. Kenya’s military says the attempted pre-dawn breach was repulsed and at least four attackers were killed.
The al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab is based in neighboring Somalia and has launched a number of attacks in Kenya. Al-Shabab has been the target of a growing number of U.S. airstrikes during President Donald Trump’s administration. The attack comes just over a week after an al-Shabab truck bomb in Somalia’s capital killed at least 79 people and U.S. airstrikes killed seven al-Shabab fighters in response.
