Kenya says kills al Shabaab commander and possibly militant Briton

Kenya's army said it killed a regional commander from Somalia's al Shabaab group, and possibly also a Briton who joined the militants, in fighting over the weekend. Eleven Somali militants and two Kenyan soldiers were killed when al Qaeda-linked al-Shabaab fighters attacked a military base in Kenya's northern coastal region of Lamu County, officials said. Al Shabaab confirmed the weekend attack, saying "many Kenyan soldiers were killed", without giving precise figures.
