The
Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) warplanes have bombed and destroyed
Al-Shabaab training camp in Somalia in retaliation for September’s
terror attack on Westgate Mall, where 70 people were killed and scores
wounded by terrorists.
Speaking yesterday, KDF Spokesman, Colonel Cyrus Oguna, noted that the Kenyan drone strike on Thursday killed several Al-Shabaab terrorists destroying the training camp where Al-Shabaab organized the Westgate Mall attack.
“We have been monitoring this area for some time and we moved in when we got the green light. This is the same area where Al-Shabaab attackers at Westgate did their training”, said Oguna.
The camp had over 300 Al-Shabaab terrorist fighters many of who were killed and only a few survived with serious injuries in the attack.
However, the Al-Shabaab denied there having been any attack on their training camp, saying it was mere propaganda by KDF.
“No military of ours in Somalia was air struck or attacked”, said a senior Al-Shabaab fighter.
