NAIROBI (AFP) – A British man was killed and his wife kidnapped in an attack at a luxury beach resort in northern Kenya by suspected Somali Islamist extremists, officials said Sunday.

The attack took place overnight Saturday at a tourist lodge in the Kiunga marine reserve on the Lamu archipelago off Kenya’s northern coast, a Kenyan police official said.

He said officers had launched a massive manhunt for the abductors, using speedboats and helicopters, and police suspected the attackers were Shebab extremists from Somalia.
