Kenya offers to boost AU force in Somalia

Kenya is prepared to send troops to bolster the African Union (AU) force in Somalia to tackle militant Islamists, Foreign Minister Moses Wetangula says.

Kenya launched military action in Somalia last month after blaming the al-Shabab group for a spate of abductions on its territory. Al-Shabab, which denies involvement in the abductions, has vowed to retaliate.

The AU has about 9,000 troops in Somalia, but they are confined to the capital, Mogadishu. Al-Shabab, which is linked to al-Qaeda, controls most other parts of southern and central Somalia.
