Armed men raid bus at dawn in Kenya, killing dozens

Armed men ambushed a bus at dawn in northeastern Kenya and killed nearly half of the 60 people aboard.

 

The gunmen killed 28 people in the bus, which was heading from Mandera, near the Somali boarder, to the capital of Nairobi.

 

"Security agencies are in pursuit of the criminal gang," the Interior Ministry said in a statement. "We'll give a comprehensive update once preliminary reports are out."

 

The Kenya Red Cross was helping retrieve bodies under the watch of security personnel.

No group claimed responsibility for the attack.
