Photos have emerged of KDF raiding al Shabaab camps and killing more than 101 militants in Somalia after the Mandera bus ambush that claimed 28 lives. DP. W. Ruto announced on Sunday afternoon that those who carried out the bus attack would not live to enjoy’ the act. Somalias Islamist al - Shabaab militants claimed responsibility for the attack on Saturday, when gunmen ordered passengers on the bus to recite Quran - verses and shot dead non-Muslims - 19 men and 9 women - who could not. The group said the killing outside Mandera was in retaliation to raids on mosques in Mombasa county. Police confirmed that security forces pursued the attackers as they fled into Somalia after the ambush. Two successful operations were carried out against the perpetrators of these murderous executions across the border. Our retaliatory action left in its trail more than 101 fatalities, hon. Ruto told a news conference in Nairobi. Ruto said a camp used by the attackers and four technicals - pick-up trucks mounted with guns - were also destroyed.

Musab added that the claims were proof the Kenyan government’s inability to secure the country hence resorting to cover ups. “Claims like these are only spewed by the Kenyan authorities to cover up their failure to secure the safety of their people and in an attempt to douse the raging anger of Kenyan public, after the severe blow the Mujahideen delivered to them,” Musab said. Saturdays massacres drew international condemnation from Somalia, Britain, the United States and the United Nations.
