Somalia's al-Shabab Islamic extremists claimed responsibility Wednesday for an attack that killed four people in Kenya's volatile northern region, bringing to 12 the number of those killed by the militants since Friday.
Kenyan officials said that four people were shot dead in a shop and their bodies burned in Wajir town on Tuesday night by unknown gunmen who wounded three others. Kenyan Interior Minister Joseph Nkaissery said the motive is unclear and the attackers are not known. But al-Shabab through its radio station in Somalia said they were responsible.
"The attack is part of a series of attacks targeting the Northern Frontier District region under Kenya's occupation," said al-Shabab's radio Andulus."The Mujahideen forces who carried out the attack safely returned to base." Kenya's northern and eastern region border Somalia and a significant number of inhabitants there are Kenyan-Somalis.
