Kenya releases Photos, Names of Al-Shabaab members Planning Fresh Attacks

Al-Shabaab militants in Somalia are amassing at Lakta belt adjacent to Boni forest in Lamu County, with the aim of entering the forest ahead of a rejuvenated counter terror operation ordered by President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Five Kenyan Al-Shabaab militants have also been dispatched from Somalia by the terror group to lead fresh attacks and police believe some of their relatives are involved in helping them sneak into the country.

Police on Wednesday circulated photographs of five militants of high value and appealed to the public to report their whereabouts.

Police also offered Sh2 million reward for information that would lead to the arrest of any of them.

They are Abdikadir Mohamed aka Ikrima, Mohammed Tajir Ali, Suleiman Irungu Mwangi as well as brothers Salad Tari Gufu and Gufu Tari Gufu.
