Al-shabab has attacked two Kenyan towns near the Somali border, killing three people. Wednesday night, al-Shabab attacked the border town of Wajir, 390 kilometers (240 miles) southwest of Mandera. One person was killed and four wounded after a gunman opened fire and threw grenades.
The leader of al-Shabab in a message said the attacks will continue until Kenyan troops are withdrawn from Somalia.
Mukhtar Abu Zubeyr in a statement released on the internet said Kenya cannot "withstand a war of attrition inside your own country."
"Make your choice today and withdraw all your forces,"
"Otherwise be prepared for an abundance of blood that will be spilt in your country, economic downfall and displacement".
Regional police chief, Charlton Mureithi confirmed the attack on the border towns, he said, "early Thursday, Al-Shabab fighters attacked the border town of Mandera, killing two police officers, injuring three others and destroying 11 vehicles" .
Kenya is still mourning the loss of over 60 lives in the Westgate mall attack which was organized by al-shabab. (AFP)
