NAIROBI (AFP)--Suspected Somali raiders attacked a Kenya border camp and killed five people, a Kenyan police official said Monday.The heavily-armed attackers struck the camp near the border town of Mandera on Sunday, killing three civilians and two police. They stole four rifles and about 250 rounds of ammunition, said area police commander Christopher Okello."They killed five people, injured seven others and torched houses," Okello said. "We suspect they were raiders from neighboring Somalia. We are pursuing them but so far, no recovery has been made."The Kenya-Somalia border has been insecure since the Somali government collapsed in 1991, setting off civil war and unrest that have defied numerous attempts to restore peace.
