Extremists attack cars killing 2 in Kenya`s north
A Kenyan official says suspected Islamic extremists killed two people when they shot at two vehicles in Kenya`s northern Mandera town.
North Eastern Regional Coordinator Mohamud Saleh said Monday that three people were wounded in the dawn attacks by gunmen believed to be Somalia`s al-Shabab militants. He said the gunmen shot at a bus killing one passenger and wounding three others. Saleh says the rebels then shot at a truck following the bus and killed one passenger.

Saleh said both drivers kept going after the shootings, preventing further loss of life and injury.

Kenya has experienced a wave of retaliatory attacks by al-Shabab, which is linked to al-Qaida, since it sent troops to Somalia to fight the extremists in 2011.
