June 13, 2019, Four Al-Shabaab militants died after the improvised explosive devices (IEDs) they were planting blew up prematurely.
The IED prematurely exploded killing the four terror operatives. The IED was targeted at Kenya security patrol teams near Kwa Omollo Bridge along Bodhai-Bar’goni road.
The bodies of the three terror operatives were found at the scene while the fourth one was found in a bush metres away meaning he was trying to run away.
Security officers recovered three loaded AK 47 rifle magazines, 12 loose bullets and a magazine pouch.
Kwa Omollo Bridge is within the dense Boni Forest where the multi-agency Linda Boni security operation is taking place. Travelers and locals who regularly use Hindi-Kiunga and Bodhai-Bargoni roads called on the government to clear bushes so the enemies lack safe-haven.
There is high risk of terrorist attacks as Al-Shabaab increased presence has been reported along the upper and lower northeastern prefectures of Kenya, close to the border with Somalia.
