A suspected al Shabaab terrorist was shot dead yesterday evening outside the US Embassy in Nairobi after he stabbed a General Service Unit officer guarding the main entrance. The suspect of Somali origin is said to have attempted to grab the officer’s AK-47 in vain before drawing a Somali sword with which he used to stab the officer twice.
In a swift move, the officer shot him in the head. “We have not yet established if indeed he is a terrorist or not. However, our preliminary investigations show he was up to no good. He stabbed our officer twice and managed to fight back. Currently, the officer is in the hospital. Investigations into the matter are underway,” said Gigiri Police Division Police Commander Vitalis Otieno.
