In photos: Strathmore University terror drill gone bad

Nairobi, Kenya: An employee of Strathmore University died after she jumped from the third floor of a building during a security drill. Esther Rusha Kidambi, 33, who worked at the catering department, died at the university dispensary.

The drill had been organised by the university and security agencies to test the students' alertness and response. However, the mock operation went bad when some students, who were not aware of it, jumped from as high as fourth floor, thinking they were under attack. Of the injured, 11 were admitted to Gertrude Hospital, 14 to Nairobi West Hospital and one with critical injuries to Aga Khan Hospital.
