[Another Terrorist Attack in Kenya} by Islamists

FTW Rockets FTW · Apr 2, 2015

At least 147 people have been killed and 79 wounded after al-Shabaab gunmen stormed a university in Kenya this morning, opened fire on dormitories, released Muslim students, and took Christians hostage.

As night fell, Kenya's National Disaster Operation Centre tweeted that the siege at Garissa University College had ended and that dozens of hostages had been freed.

Interior Minister Joseph Nkaisser said that security officers had killed four suspected al-Shabaab attackers that they had cornered in a dormitory.

As the siege neared its end earlier, Nkaisser said around 300 students remain unaccounted for, and told reporters that officials knew the whereabouts of approximately 500 out of 815 students. The disaster centre said plans are underway to evacuate those still in the building.

Conflicting accounts of the number of fatalities are emerging from the scene. Earlier, Nkaisser said the death toll had risen from 16 to 70. Kenya's National Disaster Operation Centre later revised the number to 147. However, a Kenyan police source told the Press Association that as many as 160 people had died.
