肯尼亚东北部曼德拉县伏击致8人死亡：筑路工人与警察预备役人员遭疑似青年党武装袭击
肯尼亚东北部曼德拉县11月10日清晨发生伏击事件：路透社援引肯尼亚警方与一名地区官员的说法报道，疑似索马里青年党武装人员当天约7时在靠近索马里边境的 Arabia-Lafey 公路 Hagarsu 一带，向一辆为筑路工程队护卫的车辆开火，车上8人全部死亡，其中包括5名筑路工人、2名国家警察预备役人员和1名司机。
据当地警方的初步报告，袭击发生在 Arabia 警察局以南约8公里的 Koromey 附近，这支队伍负责肯尼亚农村公路局在当地的一条道路建设工程。7人当场死亡，司机身受重伤，在送往曼德拉县教学与转诊医院途中死亡，死者遗体随后送至该院。曼德拉县警察指挥官 Robinson Ndiwa 证实了这起袭击，并说增援的安全人员已被派往当地追捕袭击者、控制周边地区。
地区官员 John Odhiambo Otieno 说，武装袭击者据信是从索马里越境而来，调查正在进行，以查明袭击者身份。曼德拉县县长 Mohamed Adan Khalif 谴责了这起袭击，称这对死者家属是沉重的损失。截至报道时，没有任何组织公开宣称对这起伏击负责。
青年党控制着索马里大片地区，经常越境袭击肯尼亚的军民目标，曼德拉一带的筑路队伍、采石场工人与安全部队此前多次遇袭。就在11月7日，邻近的加里萨县 Hulugho 一处警察局与一处多机构安全营地也遭到疑似武装人员同时袭击，肯尼亚东北部边境地区的安全形势再度吃紧。

Eight Killed in Suspected Al-Shabaab Ambush in Kenya's Mandera County: Road Workers and Police Reservists Among the Dead
An ambush in Mandera County in northeastern Kenya early on Nov. 10 killed eight people: Reuters, citing Kenyan police and a senior regional official, reported that suspected Somali al-Shabaab militants opened fire at about 7 a.m. near Hagarsu, along the Arabia-Lafey road close to the Somali border, on a vehicle escorting a road construction team. All eight occupants were killed, among them five road construction workers, two National Police Reservists and the driver.
Preliminary police reports said the attack happened at Koromey, about eight kilometres south of Arabia Police Station, as the team travelled to a road project run by the Kenya Rural Roads Authority. Seven people died at the scene, and the driver, critically wounded, died while being taken to Mandera County Teaching and Referral Hospital, where the bodies were later moved. Mandera County Police Commander Robinson Ndiwa confirmed the attack and said additional security personnel had been deployed to pursue the attackers and secure the area.
Regional official John Odhiambo Otieno said the armed assailants were believed to have crossed the nearby border from Somalia, and that investigations were under way to identify them. Mandera Governor Mohamed Adan Khalif condemned the attack as a devastating loss for the victims' families. No group had publicly claimed responsibility for the ambush at the time of reporting.
Al-Shabaab, which controls large areas of Somalia, frequently carries out cross-border attacks on Kenyan military and civilian targets, and construction crews, quarry workers and security forces in the Mandera border area have been attacked repeatedly. On Nov. 7, suspected militants also attacked a police station and a multi-agency security camp at Hulugho in neighbouring Garissa County, adding to the security strain along Kenya's northeastern border.
