Terrorist Attack in North east Kenya leaving 6 dead

Suspected al-Shabab militants have killed at least six people in an attack in north-east Kenya, the regional governor said.

Ali Roba, governor of Mandera County, said one person had also been seriously injured in the attack.

However he said security guards had been able to save 27 other people present at a public works site.

Kenya's Daily Nation says the attack targeted "non-locals".

Al-Shabab, an Islamist militant group, is battling the UN-backed government in Somalia, and has carried out a string of attacks in neighbouring Kenya.
