Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Kenyan police said no fewer than six police personnel were killed while four were injured in an attack on a police camp by suspected Islamist militants in Garissa county in the country\u2019s east on the border with Somalia.<\/p>\n

According to police report, the attack which occurred early Sunday was carried out by suspected fighters from Somalia\u2019s al Qaeda-allied al Shabaab group.<\/p>\n

It was gathered that Al Shabaab frequently carries out cross-border attacks in the area against both military and civilian targets.<\/p>\n

The report said the assailants from the group launched an assault around dawn on a camp housing police reservists and used assorted weapons to overrun the camp.<\/p>\n

Recall that the US embassy on Tuesday issued an advisory, telling Americans not to travel to some places in Kenya including Garissa and other counties along the border with Somalia due to threats of terrorism.<\/p>\n

Al Shabaab has reportedly been fighting for years to overthrow Somalia\u2019s central government and establish its own rule in the Horn of Africa country based on its own strict interpretation of Islamic sharia law.<\/p>\n
