Gunmen have massacred at least 36 quarry workers in a fresh attack in Kenya´s troubled northeast, police and the Red Cross said earlier today, the latest in a series of strikes in the region bordering war-torn Somalia.
The attackers sprayed bullets with automatic weapons where the workers were sleeping in the early hours of the morning today near the town of Mandera, where Somalia´s Al-Qaeda-affiliated Shebab and other militia have carried out a string of raids, Kenyan media said.
The gunmen then separated non-Muslims from the other workers, beheaded several and executed the rest with a bullet to the head, police sources and media reports said, a pattern of attack similar to the killing of 28 people on a bus in the same region last month.
