Kenya: 147 Killed in Al-Shabab Attack on University 
----------------------------------------------------


 
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.
