Al-Shabaab terrorists kill 3 teachers at Kenya school
2018-02-19
[AA.TR] Three teachers are confirmed dead after Somali-based al-Shabaab
... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord...
murderous Moslems attacked a primary school in northeastern Kenya early Friday, police confirmed.

The al-Qaeda-affiliated terror group operating in the Horn of Africa is said to have entered the Qarsa school in Wajir County through the porous Kenya-Somali border, some 175 kilometers (109 miles) from the town.

"We’re not sure what their motive was, but they attacked the school early in the morning, killing three teachers and wounding a couple of others, who are suffering from gunshot wounds," a police brass hat from the area told Anadolu Agency on the phone.

"The Death Eaters planted improvised explosives on the road leading to the school, making it hard for ambulances and our teams to reach the place faster," said the officer, who asked not to be named due to restrictions to speaking to the media.

Speaking to Kenya’s Daily Nation online, Wajir County police commander Mohammed Sheikh said: "I can confirm that one of our vehicles that was responding to the attack was partly hit by an IED that had been buried along the route by the group, but all our officers are in good condition."
