Kenyan forces, al Shabaab rebels clash on border
Kenyan security forces clashed with Somali al Shabaab rebels on Tuesday on the border between the two countries, an official and residents said."The attack was not a raid inside (Kenya). Our officers were attacked as they conducted a normal patrol. The militias fired at them on the other side of the border," Murungi said by telephone.
A clan elder in the Somali town of Dhobley on the other side of the frontier told Reuters that two dead al Shabaab fighters were brought there and buried on Tuesday.
"Here in Dhobley, al Shabaab are calling people to jihad against Kenya and deploying more militias to the border. Local people fear new fighting between the two sides," said elder Yusuf Ali Mohamed.
- Residents in Garissa in northeastern Kenya said hundreds of Kenyan army personnel and police left for the Somali border around midday on Tuesday
