Kenya: After Garissa Carnage, Kenya's Backlash Begins

press release

This month's bloody attack at Garissa was Kenya's worst since the 1998 US Embassy bombing. Al-Shabaab - the Islamist armed group based in Somalia - claims credit for the attack, which killed at least 147 people at Garissa including 142 students, and injured one hundred more.

Since Kenyan troops deployed in Somalia against Al-Shabaab in 2011, the group has claimed responsibility for several major attacks in Kenya, including the devastating 2013 assault on Nairobi's Westgate shopping mall.
