Terror attack drills: This is how one should be carried out

Hotbed of terror was how we were defined by international media not long ago. Just as many countries we are vulnerable to terror attack. This explains why brilliant brains came up with an idea of conducting a drill at Strathmore University. Drilling is vital to determine our preparedness in terror attacks. However, execution is our only problem.

The drilling took a turn for the worst when frightened students jumped out of the windows from the six-storey student center taking their chances at life. The results were twenty injured students with two in critical condition and one staff feared dead.
