Two Kenyan officers abducted by Al-Shabaab militants more than two
years ago are now free, according to a report by Agence France Presse (AFP).
Kenyan police Chief Joseph Boinnet says the men are in "good
health but traumatized".
The officers were abducted in the north-eastern county of Garissa in
May 2013, near the border with Somalia.

The officers were released on 25 June; however, news of the operation was
only confirmed on Thursday.
Police say the two men were taken across the border to Somalia where
they were repeatedly moved between different Al-Shabaab camps.
He gave no details of how the men were freed, but thanked the
"several security agencies which undertook this delicate rescue
mission".
