Among the killed was Mohamed Kuno, who was said to be the mastermind of the April attack on Kenya’s Garissa University that killed 148 people, as indicated by Njoka.

However, Somalia-based “al-Shabaab” militants have carried out several similar attacks in Kenya since Kenyan troops joined the effort in Somalia to battle the Al-Qaida-linked fighters in 2011.

Kenya sent its troops to Somalia in October 2011 following a series of cross-border attacks including kidnappings which the government blamed on al-Shabab.

At least 14 people were killed and 11 injured in al-Shabaab militants’ attack on a village near Kenya’s northeastern town of Mandera, Standard Digital News reported Tuesday.
