Three men have been arrested in Kenya after they tried to force their way into a British Army training camp.
The incident comes on the same day al-Shabab extremists attacked a military base and killed three US military personnel.
An internal police report seen by the Associated Press said three “terrorist suspects” were arrested on Sunday after trying to enter the British Army training unit in Laikipia county.
The UK Government was not immediately available for comment.
Around the same time, the al-Shabab assault occurred on the US base in Lamu county.
The attack at the Manda Bay airfield lasted several hours and destroyed a number of US aircraft and vehicles.
The airfield is adjacent to Camp Simba, a key Kenyan military base used by US counter-terror forces.
Kenya’s military spokesman Paul Njuguna said on Monday that no Kenyans died in the attack.
Al-Shabab, which is linked to al Qaeda, has vowed retribution on Kenya for its troop presence in Somalia that is working to counter the extremist group.
