NAIROBI, Jan. 18 (Xinhua) -- Kenya said Monday it has launched an extensive and sustained security operation in the Kapedo area in the northwest region targeting the criminals who laid an ambush against police officers during which a senior paramilitary police officer was killed and two others injured on Sunday.
Fred Matiang'i, Interior Cabinet Secretary who condemned what he termed a premeditated, cold-blooded, heinous attack on the security personnel, said more personnel have since been sent to the area to hunt down the attackers.
