There is an acceptance here that the Kenyan Air Force is actually capable of identifying a target and then hitting it. Accurately and hard. "in a town"!
Is this likely? Just hitting a town doesn't square with what I've heard of their "capabilities", let alone surgical strikes within one.

Or perhaps these were just 60 random people unlucky enough to be in Garbaharey chewing Qat that afternoon.

Or (quite likely) the Kenyan media blowing the propaganda trumpet and reporting an unsuccessful recce flight.
