[SHABELLEMEDIA] Three Kenyan coppers were maimed Monday when al-Shabaab
 ...... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord...
gunnies attacked a security camp in the border region of Mandera, local police said Tuesday.
Northeastern Regional Police Commander George Seda said Tuesday the officers were at the El-Ram Anti-Stock Theft Unit camp when they were attacked by the snuffies at about 2 a.m. in Kutulo area.
"The injured coppers are out of danger," Seda told Xinhua on the phone, noting that the coppers were hit by bullets in the legs and stomach.
Seda said the officers in the camp fought back and repulsed the attackers who reportedly escaped toward the Kenya-Somalia border. Search for the attackers continued along the mostly non-existent border following the deployment of more security forces.
On July 22, a team of security agents escaped death narrowly when their two vehicles ran over an bomb in Mandera County. The team was driving from Fino toward Sheikh Barrow when their vehicles were hit by an improvised bomb at intervals. The officers, however, survived and jumped out amid a gun attack by suspected al-Shabaab snuffies who were waiting near there.
The snuffies have also been targeting communication masts in a series, destroying them in the same area. In the recent past, there have been numerous attacks involving landmines, grenades, or other bombs in northeast Kenya.
Most of these attacks occurred in northeastern Kenya, mainly in Wajir, Garissa, and Mandera counties as well as along the Kenyan coast.
