ISIS has claimed responsibility for an attack that was carried out by three female assailants at a police station in Mombasa on Sunday.
According to a news statement by Amaq, the Islamic State’s news agency, the women who launched the attack were female supporters of their Islamic State who conducted the attack in response to their numerous calls to target crusader countries using the ISIS term for enemy nations.
On Sunday last week, three women wearing hijabs went into a police station with the pretext of reporting a case of stolen phone, where of of the terrorist women then stabbed an officer and hurled a petrol bomb on the building that fortunately never exploded.
Armed officers at the station immediately swung to action and killed the trio where they also recovered two bullet-proof jackets and unused petrol bombs from the dead suspects.
According to police sources, this is the very first attack that has been officially claimed by ISIS terrorists in the country.
Similarly, in May this year, police IG said that they had successfully foiled an alleged large-scale and deadly biological attack using anthrax where medical students affiliated to ISIS group were nabbed.
