NAIROBI, Kenya—Kenya’s military Monday said they had killed the commander of al-Shabab extremist group responsible for two attacks a year ago that killed at least 60 people, as he led an attack on a military camp in the same area.
Authorities are also trying to establish whether one of the bodies of two white men, among the suspected extremists killed in the Sunday attack on an army camp in Lamu County over the weekend, is that of Briton Thomas Evans.
Photos of Evans, also known as Abdul Akim, seem to match with the body but only DNA and biometric tests can determine his identity conclusively, military spokesman Col. David Obonyo said.
