(July 05, 2011, ISIOLO, Kenya (Reuters) - Ethiopian raiders crossed into the northern Kenyan region of Turkana, killed eight women and stole cattle, a senior administration official said on Friday.
Rift Valley Provincial Commissioner Osman Warfa told Reuters the incident occurred in Todonyang, the scene of another attack in May by raiders from Merille tribe -- also known as the Dassenech -- that killed at least 19 people.
