Kenyan police kill two suspected members of Somalia's al Shabaab
MOMBASA- Police in Kenya's port city of Mombasa on Thursday shot and killed two men they said were wanted fighters belonging to the Somali al Shabaab group, a senior officer said.
The two, who had been under surveillance for two months, were killed after police raided their hideout in Mishomoroni area, deputy area police chief Walter Abondo said. Another man escaped.
"We have identified the dead suspects...and the two have been linked to terrorism activities in Malindi and Lamu," Abondo told reporters, referring to towns north of Mombasa that have witnessed attacks and heightened activity related to al Shabaab.
