Al-Shabab militants kill 12 Christians in Kenya
At least 12 people have been killed in an attack in Kenya believed to have been carried out by Islamist militants from Somalia as they targeted a guesthouse in the north-eastern town which is the latest in a spate of deadly attacks targeting Christians in the mainly Muslim region.
Police in the Kenyan border town of Mandera said the attackers seems to belong to al-Shabab – used explosives during the overnight attack that killed 10 people who had travelled to Mandera to stage performances in schools relating to books on the curriculum.
According to Pro-Shabab media outlets, the latest incident "killed Christian Kenyans" who were not from the local area, though earlier this month, al-Shabab militants killed six people in an attack because the group said their aim is to force Christians out of the area.
