Garissa University College In Kenya Attacked By Gunmen (photo) by argon500(op): 9:43am On Apr 02, 2015
Two guards were killed and several people injured after gunmen attacked Garissa University College in northeast Kenya on Thursday morning.

Kenya Red Cross officials say at least 30 people, including two policemen were injured by the attackers and have been rushed to hospital.

The gunmen are said to have attacked the institution around 5.30am Thursday.

Unconfirmed reports state that students may have been taken hostage.

Nation.co.ke reporter Abdimalik Hajir said he saw the bodies of the guards near the university's main gate.

Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinnet said there was a shootout between attackers and police officers who were guarding the students’ hostels.

"The attackers shot indiscriminately while inside the university compound.

“However, the attackers retreated and gained entry into the hostels….a joint force composed of NPS officers and other security agencies arrived and are engaged in an elaborative process of flushing out the gunmen from the hostels,” he said in a statement posted on his Twitter account.

KDF and police have entered the university’s compound.

A siege that started since morning and has ended is just making FP on Nairaland. Stale news!

Terrorism is a cancer that doesn't respect any country or borders. RIP to the students!

[color=#1980BC] Islam at its worse but all of that can be de-escalated if somebody like Buhari was at the helm...else they wouldn't send troops into Somalia and not contend with this bloodshed in the first place....God help them if those guys came with explosives,a bodybag full and 200 hostages,we could be de-facto Presidents of Kenya as long as the siege lasts or we detonate ourselves and the 200 hostages into paradise.
