MOMBASA, KENYA: The terrorist bullet that killed Baby Satrin Osinya’s mother in church and spared him — just two months to his first birthday — is lodged dangerously in his head. Yes, doctors believe one of the bullets that ended his mother’s life, while she was shielding him, exited her body and buried itself in his head. Monday night, two days after the terrorists’ gun attack inside a Likoni church, doctors were still going through scans and x-rays of Baby Satrin’s head, trying to determine if the bullet could be surgically removed without inflicting more damage or even risking his young life.
