Militants Kill 147 In Kenyan University Attack

An attack by masked terrorists who stormed a university in eastern Kenya has left at least 147 people dead.

Around 80 more have been confirmed as wounded in the siege at Garissa University, which has now ended after the four attackers detonated their suicide vests.

The gunmen hurled grenades and fired automatic rifles as students were sleeping, shooting dead dozens before setting Muslims free and holding Christians and others hostage.

There were unconfirmed reports from some Kenyan media sources that a number of the students had been beheaded.

Winnie Njeri, one of those who escaped, told News24 Kenya: "We saw beheaded bodies when we escaped. It is very bad, they have killed many people."

Survivors said the masked attackers singled out non-Muslim students and gunned most of them down without mercy.

Others ran for their lives as bullets whistled through the air.

Two security guards, one policeman and one soldier were also killed in the siege, which ended 15 hours after the gunmen launched their assault.

The four gunmen had strapped themselves with explosives which they detonated as soldiers burst into the dormitory where they were holed up, according to Interior Minister Joseph Nkaiserry.

When gunfire struck the attackers, the militants exploded "like bombs," Mr  Nkaissery said, adding that the shrapnel wounded some of the officers.

Somalia's al Shabaab militant group has claimed responsibility for the pre-dawn attack, which is the country's deadliest since the US embassy bombings in 1998.
