Some people have been killed in a church near the Kenyan city of Mombasa. Islamist militants from the al-Shabab are being suspected for this attack and other similar attacks. Al-Shabaab is a jihadist group based in Somalia. In 2012, it joined the militant Islamist organization al-Qaeda as a cell. As of 2013, the group has retreated from the major cities, but imposes strict forms of Sharia law in some rural regions.
While Al-Shabaab has been reduced in power and size since the beginning of the coordinated operation against it by the Somalian military and the Kenyan army, the group has continued its efforts at recruitment and territorial control. The group maintains training camps in areas near Kismayo in the southern regions of Somalia
