Unidentified assailants killed at least seven people, including two security personnel, in an attack on a bus on Kenya’s coast that brings the death toll in the region over the past month to 94, the Kenya Red Cross said.
The attackers targeted a bus traveling near Witu in Kenya’s Lamu county, about 420 kilometers (261 miles) southeast of the capital, Nairobi, the medical charity said in postings on Twitter. Al-Shabaab, the al-Qaeda-linked militia waging an insurgency against the government of neighboring Somalia, told Agence France-Presse today it carried out the assault.
