Last week Somali extremist militant group Al Shabaab massacred 147 students at a college in southern Kenya. This school was specifically targeted because it was a Christian school. The four gunmen mainly attempted to target those who were praying. The gunmen held control over the school for six hours before Kenyan military authorities finally arrived. Many of the surviving students were traumatized, either with their close encounter with death or with the sight of seeing their friends shot dead. After vowing retaliation, Kenyan president Uhuru Kenyatta authorized several military strikes on Al Shabaab training grounds. Now, Al Shabaab is promising retaliation saying that “The streets in Kenya will run red with blood.”
