NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) -- The spokesman for Kenya's military says an
estimated 100 Somali militants were killed after helicopter
gunships targeted a gathering of more than 200 al-Shabab fighters
in Somalia.
Maj. Emmanuel Chirchir said Friday that the gunships targeted a
meeting where close to 20 al-Shabab vehicles were gathered near
Badhade.
The claim could not be independently verified. Al-Shabab had no
immediate comment on its Twitter feed, the same microblogging site
that Chirchir used to make Friday's announcement.
Kenyan forces moved into Somalia in October to fight al-Shabab
after a rash of attacks on Kenyan soil.
Elsewhere, gunmen opened fire in the Kenyan town of Garissa on
Friday, killing two people, government official James Ole Sereni
said.
