Militants Divide Kenya Miners by Religion, Then Begin Killing
[NY Times] The Kenyan miners were marched off in the predawn dark on Tuesday, some barefoot, others shirtless.The Somali Death Eaters methodically separated the Christian workers from the Moslems and took the Christians to the side of a hill, near a gravel pit. Then they ordered the disbelievers to lie face down. According to the Kenyan authorities, the Death Eaters killed 36 people, most of them young men. Many were shot in the back of the head, at close range, and some were decapitated. It appeared all the Moslems had been spared. The killings, which followed a similar sequence on a passenger bus less than two weeks earlier, unnerved the Kenyan public and led to the ouster of Kenya?s top security chiefs. ?Innocent Kenyan lives have been lost, in a most harrowing manner, to these animals,? said Kenya?s president, Uhuru Kenyatta. But, he said, ?We will not flinch.? Kenya has been severely hampered by Somali Death Eaters next door, a problem that never seems to go away. It started in the 1960s and became acute in the early 1990s, when Somalia?s government collapsed and hundreds of thousands of refugees, and waves of gunnies called shiftas, fled into Kenya.
