Kenyan Troops push Attacks into Somolia

A mix of Kenyan troops and tanks travel 80 Km into the country of Somalia, while Kenyan aircraft bomb suspected terrorist locations. This is believed to be the first move in a plan to destroy the Islamist insurgent group al Shabab. al Shabab spokesperson threatened to attack the Kenyan capitol if the attacks did not cease. Kenya claims the attack to be in self defense, due to the many kidnappings, including the kidnapping of several european tourists. al Shabab denied all accusations, and claimed that the Kenyan Government was coming up with an excuse to invade the country. Neither side is backing down, and this conflict could lead to a lot of blood unless resolved soon.
