A large number of gunmen who are Al Shabaab terrorists attacked Garissa University College in Kenya on Thursday, firing gunshots sporadically and taking hostages.
CNN reports that between 8 to 15 people are dead, and 30 have been hospitalized.
The
attack began at 5 a.m. local time, and by about 11 a.m, Kenyan forces
had already made significant progress in the fight to regain control of
the university. According to the Interior Ministry, Kenyan forces had
cleared three of the four dormitories invaded, and had cornered the
militants in the last one, as of the time of this report.
Garissa is located approximately 145 kilometres (90 miles) from the Somalian border.
According
to reports, Al-Shabaab militants have frequently attacked Kenya ever
since the government deployed troops across the border to fight them.
