Somalia's al Shabaab militant group attacked on Sunday a military base in Kenya used by both US and Kenyan forces and published pictures of masked gunmen standing next to an aircraft in flames.

Four people were hacked to death and their houses torched in an attack claimed by Shabaab militants in Kenya's coastal Lamu county, police said Friday.

Rescuers recovered six bodies in Kenya's coastal Lamu region after a boat carrying a local politician and his family capsized over the weekend.
