http://news.nationalpost.com/2011/10/28 ... o-somalia/ISIOLO, Kenya, — An explosion hit a Kenyan security forces vehicle on Friday, wounding three, a day after the first serious clash between Kenyan soldiers and Somali militants inside the neighbouring nation, medics and police said.
The attack is the fourth on Kenyan soil this week. Kenya sent soldiers and heavy weapons into Somalia 13 days ago to crush al Shabaab, the al Qaeda-linked militant group Nairobi blames for a string of kidnappings on Kenyan soil and border incursions.
Police and military sources said the attack happened close to the town of Modika, which is on the road that leads from Garissa in northern Kenya to the Dadaab refugee camp and then onto the Somali border.
Several sources said they suspected the vehicle carrying members of Kenya’s paramilitary General Service Unit (GSU) had been hit by a landmine, although the exact nature of the explosion remained to be confirmed officially.
This will impact tourism and I hope it makes it on the international news and tv stations everywhere.
