A commando of eight jihadist of Al Shabaab has attempted to break into the american air base of Camp Simba at Manda Bay, Lamu in the far North of Kenya to 96 kilometres from Somalia. Despite the claims of the terrorists, the assault inside the base has failed. But I have managed to burst onto the track, killing three americans, two contractors and a soldier, give fire to a Cessna american, a Caravan and kenyan, and destroy two helicopters in the Usa. One of the aircraft destroyed was a twin-engine reconnaissance aircraft for missions of intelligence. Among americans, the first body to be identified is that of the soldier, 23-year-old Mitch Mayfield of Chicago, in the army for a year.

The shebaab dead would 4, although other sources refer to 8. The cousins somali Al-Qaeda attacked the base in the early hours of the morning with a car bomb suicide bomber who attempted to enter the structure. As usual, after the car bomb is triggered the onslaught of other militiamen who, however, have stopped at the track. The group has immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, on social and their official radio Andalus, shouting victory for “the attack completely succeeded. We have killed 17 people, 9 of which are military people from kenya”. The military forces of kenyan have not confirmed the deaths mentioned in the declaration of AS and have instead stressed that the assault was dismissed with “minor damage”.
