Three Arrested For Break-In Attempt At British Military Base In Kenya

Three men have been arrested for trying to break into a British Army camp in central Kenya.

An internal police report seen by the Associated Press says the three "terrorist suspects" were arrested on Sunday after trying to enter the British Army training unit in Laikipia county.

Kenyan police arrested the men at 17:00 local time (14:00 GMT) on Sunday.

The UK Government was not immediately available for comment.

The arrests took place the same day three Americans were killed in an attack on the Manda Bay Airfield by Al-Shabaab extremists.

The Manda Bay base is used by the US to provide training and counter-terrorism support to its East African partners.
