Passengers killed as Shaabab attack three buses in Lamu

Although authorities put the number of the dead at three, multiple interviews with witnesses indicated that the number could be much higher.

Over 50 gunmen believed to be Al-Shaabab militants yesterday waylaid three buses at Nyongore near Witu, Lamu County and killed an unknown number of people and abducted others.

Police said the buses were attacked by armed gunmen believed to be members of Al-Shabaab's Kenyan cell, Jeysh Aymanare.
