Kenya: Armed men attack lorry carrying exams papers


  1. AfricaNews Monitoring Team
    A third attack in a week has hit Kenya this time in the north of that country. Reports say armed men attacked a lorry near Kenya's border with Somalia, killing at least four people. The lorry was carrying school examination papers when it was attacked in Mandera district and had government officials among the passengers.

    The attack has further worsen public fear and panic in the East Africa country.

    Kenya blames Somalia's militant Islamist group al-Shabab for a spate of abductions on its territory.

    Al-Shabab denies the allegation and has vowed to take revenge against Kenya for sending troops into Somalia.

    On Wednesday, a Kenyan man arrested after two grenade blasts in the capital, Nairobi, admitted in court to being a member of the group.

    Elgiva Bwire Oliacha pleaded guilty to carrying out the attacks on a nightclub and bus stop.

    Now I have seen everything. I wonder what made those armed men attack the lorry with the exam papers. Did they target the wrong target? I am guessing they must have ID-ed the wrong van and targeted the wrong vehicle.

    I have read the news here on this site. Its such a sad thing to destroy a Long Distance Movers truck like this. These people are not aware of the value of education and human life. I hope that there would be peace for all the people around there.

    Oh my! Such a terrible news. I hope this issue has already been resolved. Maybe you'll be interested to get CPR classes in Dallas that would be exciting and really useful for you.
