On 6 December 2019, at least 11 people, including seven police officers, were shot dead on or outside a bus in Kenya.[1] The Medina Bus Company vehicle and its passengers were attacked on a road in a rural area between Wajir and Mandera in northeastern Kenya.[1] Al-Shabaab claimed responsibility for the attack.[1][2]

Background

The Islamist militant group Al-Shabaab has been opposed to Kenyan involvement in the Somali Civil War.[3] The terrorist group has previously attacked the suburb of Westlands during the 2013 Westgate shopping mall attack,[4] which left 67 people dead. In 2015, Al-Shabaab terrorists were involved in mass shooting of Garissa University College students leaving 147 dead and many others injured.[5] In 2019 two attacks occurred in the same month of each other, including the attack on January 15, 2019, an attack on a hotel in Nairobi which killed 21 individuals. The second attack happened in less than two weeks near a Kenya Cinema bus stop which injured two individuals.[6]

Attack

Gunmen associated with Al-Shabaab killed 11 people including seven Kenya Police officers on a bus traveling through Wargadadud and Kutulu in Wajir, Kenya.[7][8]
