The warplanes had targeted two camps in the Gedo region, used by al-Shabab to cross into Kenya, the spokesman added.

This is Kenya's first response to an al-Shabab assault which left 148 people dead at Garissa University last week.

President Uhuru Kenyatta had vowed to respond to the attack "in the severest way possible".

seems like it, but history would tell the same. Ya think we would learn from history, but alas, nada.

This secures the sociopaths on the "end of the world" steroids. Hopefully with God's blessings, peace shall overcome.
