The Kenyan town of Garissa, was decimated this Sunday Morning, by simultaneous attacks on two of it's Christian churches, media reports. Assailants wearing face coverings to protect their identity, launched grenade attacks, and conducted firearms fire upon those attending Christian services, in the town, near bordering Somalia.
This is what regional police chief, for the border area, Philip Ndolo informed the media, as noted by Reuters, The Associated Press, and the BBC, in varying degrees.
This attack, follows Friday's kidnapping of four aid workers, killing of a bus driver, by the Dadaab refugee camp, and a night club being attacked last Sunday, in Mombasa, Reuters reports.
Kenya sent members of their armed forces into neighboring failed state, Somalia, in October, Reuters reports. Their stated aim was to crush Al Qaeda affiliated al Shabaab.
