Al Shabaab Botched Attack On Military Base In Lamu Leaves 11 Militants and 2 Soldiers Dead (Graphic Photo)

It was on the eve of the marking of one year since Al Shabaab militants killed hundreds of Kenyans in Lamu County when the terrorist group once again descended on the county, this time round aiming a military base.

However, as it turned out, their attack was very botched as military officers sprayed them with bullets, killing 11 of the militants. Two officers who were caught in the exchange also lost their lives.

13 AK 47 rivals were also recovered from the militants.

The attacks come after Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinett warned of a possible al shabaab attack as muslims in Kenya prepare for the Ramadhan.

Al Shabaab has been carrying out attacks on Kenyan soil, the most recent being the killing of 147 people in Garissa University in April, majority of them being students.

Here is the graphic photo of the militants lying lifeless:
