At least two people were shot and killed by gunmen believed to be al-Shabaab militants in the Pandaguo area, Lamu County, police said. Police who responded to the Christmas Day incident said several houses in the area were also torched by the attackers. The attack comes barely a week after the suspected al-Shabaab militants attacked a police vehicle between Hayley Lapsset camp and Garissa. Officials say once complete, the teams will be spread 40 kilometres apart to enable quick response to attacks from militants. The fence especially in Mandera and Lamu has helped reduce incidents of attacks by the militants who often crossed at will.
