                          7 Killed in Kenya Bus Attack

   by VOA News

   Kenya's Red Cross said gunmen opened fire on a bus Friday, killing at
   least seven people.

   The aid group says the attack happened near Witu, a town in Lamu
   county.

   Al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab militants have claimed responsibility for the
   assault.

   The militants said the attack was carried out in response to the
   government's assertion that all the areas that have recently been
   subjected to attacks are now secured, following the deployment of
   government troops.

   The insurgents have vowed to carry out attacks on Kenya to avenge the
   presence of Kenyan troops fighting the militants in Somalia where
   Kenyan soldiers are part of an African Union peacekeeping force.
