Storyline:National News

Kenya’s President Uhuru Kenyatta affirmed that his country prepared plans to counter the threats of terrorism in Kenya following last week’s Al-Shabaab attack on Police Station near the border with Somalia.

Uhuru reiterated that the memorandum of understanding signed between Kenya and Jordan will provide for military cooperation and counterterrorism.

“Our forces are now more than ready for the real operation should the need arise,” he said during the closing ceremony of a bilateral military training exercise between Kenya Defence Forces and the Royal Jordan Armed Forces.

Last week Al-Shabaab attacked Hamey patrol base in Garissa County of northeastern Kenya where they killed two police officers and abducted two others.

On 25th the group paraded  two bodies  which the group (Al-Shabaab) claimed are of Kenyan police officers in  their headquarters in Jilib, southern Somalia.

Al-Shabaab also displayed  police land-cruiser number plate GK A 398Y, which the group covered  with their black flag.

Kenyan government has launched an operation to flush out the militants using GSU officers who are using land and air surveillance.
