Kenyan forces 'cross Somali border to fight al-Shabab

Kenyan forces have crossed into Somali territory to fight al-Shabab militants, an official source has told the BBC.

However, the reports were denied by a police spokesman.

Twelve militants were killed in the raid near the border town of Liboi, Kenya's Standard newspaper reports.

Kenya supports the Somali government and has helped trained its forces but if confirmed, this would be the first time Kenyan officers have crossed the border.

The raid was carried out by the police General Service Unit in the wake of recent militant attacks on the Kenyan side of the border, the Standard says.

Al-Shabab has previously threatened to stage attacks in Kenya but none have been carried out.

Last year, al-Shabab said it was behind a double attack on the Ugandan capital, Kampala, which killed at least 76 people, in revenge for Uganda sending troops to help the Somali government.

Al-Shabab, which has links to al-Qaeda, controls much of southern and central Somalia.

The government, backed by some 9,000 African Union troops from Uganda and Burundi, has this year gained some ground in the capital, Mogadishu.

Somalia has been wracked by constant war for more than 20 years - its last functioning national government was toppled in 1991

Heavy Shelling in Mogadishu Dead 7 people

At least 11 people, among them five civilians, were killed in Mogadishu Tuesday after government forces backed by African peacekeepers attacked the barracks of Islamist rebels, witnesses said.

The fighting took place in Holwadag and Bondhere districts where government forces attacked trenches held by Al Shebab insurgents.

"We have killed six of the children they misled into fighting for them and we are continuing to take control of the trenches they use to attack us," the acting chief of the Somali army Major General Abdikarim Dhegobadan told reporters.
Witnesses said five civilians were killed in Bondhere after they were caught in the crossfire.

"I saw the dead bodies of five civilians, including two women, who were hit by stray bullets," Muse Adan, a witness told AFP.
Shebab officials were not available for comment.
Medical sources said a further 10 people, all of them civilians, were injured in the fighting.

Clashes between the Shebab and government forces backed by 9,000 Ugandan and Burundian troops from the African Union Mission (AMISOM) occur on an almost daily basis in the Somali capital and civilians are often the main victims.

The latest fighting comes one month after government forces launched a big offensive to try to take back several regions of south and central Somalia controlled by the Al Qaeda-inspired Shebab.

At the end of February AMISOM troops dislodged the Shebab from two key positions in the north of the capital. Source
