Somalia's Islamist fighters have paraded two prisoners, believed to be Kenyans captured last month after a cross border raid, witnesses said Monday.

"Hundreds of people came to see the hostages who the Shebab said were Kenyans," said Ali Moalim, who was among the crowds who gathered Sunday in Jilib, an Islamist-controlled southern Somali region of Lower Juba.

Gunmen shot and seriously wounded a Somali journalist in the volatile southern port city of Kismayo, officials and colleagues said Thursday, the latest in a string of attacks against the media.

Unidentified attackers shot Abdikadir Abdirasak Sofe -- also known by his nickname "Jijile", a reporter for London-based Royal TV -- as he walked home after work late on Wednesday.

An American drone has crashed in Somalia, a U.S. official said Tuesday, after Shebab militants claimed to have recovered the wreckage.

"I can confirm an RPA (remotely piloted aircraft) crashed in a remote area of the Somali coastline south of Mogadishu," said the defense official.

Gunmen have killed five people including two police officers in an attack along Kenya's volatile border with war-torn Somalia, with Islamist insurgents making a rare claim of responsibility.

Somalia's Islamist Shebab insurgents said they carried out the attack, in which gunmen fired on a police post near the border town of Liboi late Saturday, killing two police officers and three civilians.

The European Union on Tuesday pledged to give 44 million euros ($58 million) in aid to Somalia, at a conference in London aimed at stopping the impoverished country slipping back into lawlessness.

The EU Commissioner for Development Andris Piebalgs said the funding would be used to build up the justice system and police force in Somalia, which has been blighted by conflict for more than two decades.

Qatar has strongly condemned an al-Qaida-linked suicide attack that targeted its officials in Somalia's capital, in a statement on the official QNA news agency.

About 11 people were killed Sunday in Mogadishu when a suicide attacker from the al-Qaida-linked Shebab insurgents rammed a car laden with explosives into a convoy carrying four Qatari officials, police said.

Around 11 people were killed Sunday when a suicide attacker rammed a car laden with explosives into a government convoy at a busy junction in the Somali capital, police said.

"Several people have been killed, the blast was big, we are gathering details but the number of those killed is around 11," police official Mohamed Adan said.

The U.N. Security Council on Thursday set up a special mission to Somalia in a move described as the biggest international commitment to the conflict-stricken nation in two decades.

A British-proposed resolution set up the new U.N. Assistance Mission in Somalia (UNSOM) that diplomats said should be working by the end of June.

Almost 260,000 Somali people, half of them children, died of dire hunger from 2010 to 2012, greatly more than was feared at the time, an official report said Thursday.

Half of those who died were children aged below five -- almost a fifth of that age group died in the hardest-hit area -- and U.N. officials admitted they could have done more to prepare for the famine.

Health officials in Somalia are rolling out a new five-in-one vaccine for children that they say will save thousands of lives.

Meanwhile, in Abu Dhabi Thursday, global health leaders unveiled a six-year plan to eradicate polio. Close to three-quarters of the plan's projected $5.5 billion cost has already been pledged.
