Bandits attacked a tourist tent camp in the Masai Mara Game Reserve, killing one and wounding two but reportedly escaping without obtaining any valuables. Authorities launched a major security operation involving 100 police, sniffer dogs and two aircraft to track down the assailants. The attack took place at a resort in the Mara Triangle, the northwestern section of the reserve that is less visited, less crowded and usually has more wildlife than the rest of the famous game park. Police called the attack an isolated incident. In other news, the U.S. State Department issued a warning about possible civil disturbances surrounding the Aug. 4 constitutional referendum, and encouraged visitors to avoid rallies and demonstrations.
