'Several Dead' in Kenya Coast Attack
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Five people have been killed by unknown gunmen who raided a village on Kenya's coast near Mpeketoni town, where at least 65 people died in attacks last week, a government official said.
"I am aware that a gang that is unknown attacked Taa village in Witu division yesterday (Monday) night and killed five people," Lamu County commissioner, Stephen Ikua, told Reuters.
Somali rebel group al-Shabab claimed responsibility for last week's attacks on the Mpeketoni area, although Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta dismissed al-Shabab's account and said local politicians were behind it.
Taa village is about 40km from Mpeketoni village where last week's deadly attack took place.
