Somali militants vow more Kenya attacks─── 11:47 Sat, 04 Apr 2015
Nairobi - Somali militants have threatened to stage more attacks on Kenya after the group's fighters killed nearly 150 people during an assault on a Kenyan university on Thursday.
Reuters reports four masked al-Shabaab gunmen went on a killing spree in a pre-dawn raid, hunting down and executing students in a college campus in Garissa, a northeastern town about 200km from the Somali border.
The al-Qaeda aligned group said the attack was retribution for Kenya's presence in Somalia and mistreatment of Muslims within Kenya.
In the message, directed at the Kenyan public, the group vowed a long and gruesome war, saying Kenya's cities will "run red with blood".
According to the Kenya's Interior Ministry, the death toll in the attack on the Garissa University College has risen to 148 and police are interviewing five suspects after making three additional arrests yesterday.
The raid on Thursday was the biggest attack on Kenya since 1998, when al-Qaeda bombed the US embassy in the capital Nairobi and killed more than 200 people.
