Three days of mourning begin in Kenya─── 08:44 Sun, 05 Apr 2015
Nairobi - Kenya has begun three days of mourning following Thursday's massacre of over 100 students by militant group al-Shabab.
The BBC reports Easter ceremonies will be held to remember the 148 victims of the attack on Garissa University, and flags are expected to fly at half-mast. President Uhuru Kenyatta has vowed to respond to the attack "in the severest ways possible".
The Kenyan Red Cross says that so far 54 of the victims have been identified by relatives at a morgue in the capital, Nairobi.
Buses are transporting more than 600 students and about 50 staff who survived the attacks to their hometowns.
Many survivors have been reunited with their families at Nairobi's Nyayo National Stadium, which has been set up as a disaster centre.
