MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 07th December, 2019) At least eight people, including police officers, were killed in a terrorist attack on a bus in Wajir county in northeastern Kenya, the presidential press service said on Saturday.
According to the statement, Somali-based al-Shabaab militants, affiliated to al-Qaeda, a terrorist organization banned in Russia, are the main suspects of the attack carried out on Friday evening.
The Turkish Anadolu news agency reported that the militants killed only non-Muslim people.
Al-Shabaab militants have conducted numerous attacks against non-Muslims near Wajir due to its proximity to the Kenyan-Somalian border. One of the worst attacks took place in November 2014, when al-Shabaab killed 28 Kenyan teachers after hijacking a bus traveling through Mandera Сounty.
