Al Shabaab suspect killed, explosives and guns recovered in confrontation in Fafi, Garissa county

Garissa(SONNA)-A terror suspect was shot and killed and weapons found on him in a confrontation with police in Fafi, Garissa County.
A squad from Kenya’s Elite Special Operations Group (SOG) conducted a meticulously planned, intelligence-driven operation in the Najo area of Fafi, Garissa leading to the recovery of explosive devices on Friday November 22.

The operation led to a dramatic confrontation with al shabaab terrorists, officials said.

Following a fierce exchange of fire, one terrorist was killed and a significant cache of weaponry including three AK-47 rifles and magazines, an RPG launcher, an RPG warhead, VHF radios, detonators and other materials intended for a heinous plot on Kenyan soil was recovered.

Police said the decisive action marks yet another victory in the squad’s unwavering mission to safeguard the nation.
The area is seen as breeding ground for terror groups which emanate from the neighboring Somalia through the porous border.
The security agencies have vowed to protect Kenyans and will always remain vigilant.
This is the latest such operation to be staged in the area amid fears the group is trying to establish a base for fresh attacks.
