Four Al shabaab militants were killed by Kenya Defence Forces as they tried to launch an attack in Lamu County.
KDF Spokesman David Obonyo says rifles and an improvised explosive device were recovered from the militants, after they were repulsed by Kenyan troops. One KDF soldier was injured in the incident and is receiving treatment.
Meanwhile, the three terror suspects arrested, while their accomplice was killed in Malindi, have been handed over to anti terror police officers for further interrogation in Mombasa.
The three who include wanted terror suspect Abdullaziz Ali, were allegedly plotting terrorist attacks in Mombasa and Malindi.
Mombasa County Commissioner Maalim Mohammed says security has been heightened to avert any terror attacks by the Al shabaab.
