Kenyan and Somali governement troops have killed nine memebers of a militant group linked to al-Qaida they were pursuing in Somalia, a spokesman announced today. A military official said the camp across the group while on a routine patrol. Four Kenyan soldiers were wounded, and one critically wounded that had to be flown out of the city for further treatment. However, officials believe that some militant members escaped the attack with sever wounds and told bordering communities to be on the look out for people seeking treatment for suspicious wounds. The Kenyan government has also conducted raids in towns looking for al-Shabab group members all over Somalia. They blame the group for a string of attacks and kidnappings in Kenyan that they say threaten tourism, which is a major revenue source for the country.
