The al-Shabaab attacked the police post and begun shooting, resulting in a gun battle that saw one of the police officers shot on the leg. The reporter tends to believe the increase in these teror attacks in Garissa have been due to the deployment of the Kenya Defense Forces (KDF) into Somalia. Moreover, the reporter belives the use of IEDs has increased and become the most preferred weapon type due its easy portability capabilities, easier assmbling and has more devstating impact. |
