That headline sounds like some shit from Borderlands 2

Basically, the Kenyan Special Forces has to do everyone's dirty work.

Can we get some of these cops? I like their style.

Something that irked me reading this

The gang, armed with rifles powerful enough to pierce an armored vehicle, is believed to have attacked from an alleyway along a winding dirt road between the embassy and the housing compound that isn't always visible even when security measures are taken.

No way these are locally produced. Maybe Trump should look into what Cuba's been up to in the region.

Arms have been run through Haiti for a long time. Might very well be American produced.

Rifles powerful enough to pierce the armored vehicle might be anything from 5,56 mm rifle to 100 mm gun, because they don't mention what kind of armored vehicle, from which side, angle and distance. It's a media technique similar to clickbait title - give the reader something to make their imagination go wild, while giving no concrete information.

Since the armored vehicle in question seems to be an armored van, 7,62x51 will certainly do the trick and I wouldn't bet my life on stopping 5,56 mm either.
