At least six people,
including children , were killed in an attack on buses in the county of Mandera
in northern Kenya. The gunmen opened fire on the first bus, which failed to
stop, and then on the second one which resulted in the casualties.
"Police on the
scene have found six persons shot dead," said police chief Joseph Boinnet.
"The hunt for the terrorists is under way."
Boinnet said two
people were also injured. It was unclear whether the casualties were civilians
or police officer guards aboard the buses.
The early morning
ambush happened near El Wak in Mandera county, an impoverished rural part of
the country where similar deadly attacks in the past have been claimed by the
Somali-led Al-Qaeda group, the Shabaab.
A similar raid in
December 2015 left two people dead, after Muslim passengers shielded their
Christian fellows.
