Somali group says 28 non- Muslim passengers shot
on board bus in Mandera in revenge for police
raids on Mombasa mosques.
Al- Shabab fighters from Somalia hijacked a bus in
Kenya 's north and killed 28 non -Muslims on board
after they had been singled out from the rest of
the passengers , police officials said.

Two police officers said that the bus travelling to
the capital Nairobi with 60 passengers was
hijacked 50km from the town of Mandera near
Kenya 's border with Somalia.

The officers insisted on anonymity out of fear of
reprisals because of an order from Kenya 's police
chief that officers should not speak to the media .

Al- Shabab claimed responsibility for the dawn bus
attack in a statement on Saturday, saying the
attack was revenge for raids carried out by
Kenyan security forces on mosques in the coastal
city of Mombasa. Kenyan police said they found
explosives and arrested more than 150 people in
the mosque raids.

"The Mujahideen successfully carried out an
operation near Mandera early this morning, which
resulted in the perishing of 28 crusaders , as a
revenge for the crimes committed by the Kenyan
crusaders against our Muslim brethren in
Mombasa," Sheikh Ali Mohamud Rage , a
spokesman for the group, said in the statement .

The interior ministry confirmed Saturday' s attack,
saying via its official Twitter handle: "Security
agencies are in pursuit of the criminal gang . We' ll
give a comprehensive update once preliminary
reports are out . "

Police said that the attackers, who were heavily -
armed, fled towards the border between Kenya and
Somalia, adding that a security team has been
deployed to the area to capture the attackers.

A reporter for Kenya 's Standard newspaper told Al
Jazeera the attack happened at 5 : 45am local time .

Quoting Mandera County Commissioner , journalist
Boniface Mungeri said the attack was carried out
by " about 100 gunmen who commandeered" the
bus and forced the passengers out .
