Somali militants ambushed an aid convoy yesterday, killed a Kenyan aid worker and kidnapped four international workers at a Kenyan refugee camp near the border with Somalia, officials said.

Four international workers from the Norwegian Refugee Council were kidnapped after gunmen attacked a two-car convoy travelling through the sprawling Dadaab refugee camp.

The gunmen killed the group’s Kenyan driver, police said.

A spate of kidnapping attacks by gunmen across the border were one of the reasons Kenya used to justify its military push into Somalia last year.
