Terror Suspects Die After Kenyan Shootout

 Terror Suspects Die After
 Kenyan Shootout

A pair of terror suspects have been shot dead by police in Kenya after attempting to use a baby as a human shield.

Investigators were tipped off about the couple's location and raided an apartment in Nairobi, ordering the two to come out.
Boniface Mwaniki, head of the anti-terroism police unit, said they had refused to surrender and started throwing grenades.
Police reportedly fired tear gas into the property in the Githurai Kimbo area of the city and the suspects threw back four grenades.
Mr Mwaniki added that the pair had used their eight-month-old baby as a shield to try and avoid being injured.
Five officers were wounded in the stand-off, which ended with both suspects being killed.
The baby was removed from the house unconscious and two grenades were found in the property, the police said.
The dead male suspect was named as Kenyan national Felix Otuko.
He is suspected of carrying out two grenade attacks in October 2011 - the first of a string of grenade and gun assaults in Kenya.
Mr Mwaniki said Otuko was a member of an al Shabaab cell with another Kenyan national Elgiva Bwire Oliacha, also known as Mohammed Seif.
Oliacha is serving a life sentence in jail for grenade attacks in Nairobi on October 2011 which killed one person and injured 20 others.
Investigations showed Oliacha supplied Otuko with the grenades for the two assaults, Mr Mwaniki added.
The female suspect who died was not named.
These attacks followed threats against Kenya from Islamic extremist rebels in neighbouring Somalia.
The al Shabaab radicals, who are allied to al Qaeda, vowed to attack Kenyan targets in retaliation for the Kenyan government's decision in October 2011 to send troops into Somalia to battle against al Shabaab.
The Kenyan government sent troops into Somalia after several cross-border attacks and kidnapping of foreign tourists that were blamed on al Shabaab.
