Amid the current tensions between the US and Iran, the US military establishment in Kenya was attacked this morning by terrorist organization al-Shabaab. Al Shabaab has claimed responsibility for the attack on the American base at Manda Bay in Lamu County, Kenya. According to local media, the firing between the two sides is going on. It is the joint military base of Kenya and the United States. In some African countries, al-Shabaab, a terrorist organization associated with al-Qaeda, has considerable influence.
Al-Shabaab claimed responsibility for the attack
According to Aljazira's report, the suicide bomber was used in this attack and the terrorist organization has captured the camp. Al Shabaab, an al-Qaeda-linked organization, dominates parts of the African country. Talking to media group Al Jazeera, an Al Shabaab spokesman said that the attack had nothing to do with the ongoing dispute in the Middle East.
Attacked on US military base in September too
Earlier the terrorist group Alshabab claimed responsibility for attacking an American military base in Somalia. A security official also confirmed the attack on a convoy of European Union (EU) advisors. However, no casualties were reported in both attacks at that time. The militants attacked the US base at Baledogale, 110 km northwest of the capital Mogadishu, with explosives and gunfire opened in the complex.
