Kenya: 147 Killed in Al-Shabab Attack on University

HeadlineApr 03, 2015

In Kenya, officials say 147 people, mainly students, were killed when al-Shabab militants stormed a university in Garissa, making it the worst attack on Kenyan soil since the 1998 bombing of the U.S. Embassy. Gunmen reportedly went through the university dorms, separating Muslims from Christians and killing the Christians. The siege lasted about 15 hours before security forces killed four militants.
